OK, someone explain this line to me. I'm reading it as the planets are checked and the pop multiplied by the reproduction number every X turns.
That would make this kind of silly, considering you'd only get new population once every decade. Wouldn't decreasing the reproduction a lot be a better solution?

Well, yeah kind of it would. But the problem is the base reproduction rate is only 10 percent as it is. If you reduce it any lower than 5 and every planet with less than plesant conditions will have zero reproduction. Not only every ten years, never.
I wish that this was doable. The more I think about this the more I like it. But I can't seem to get past the RCE's. I guess we could still change the scale, but less than 1000. Maybe 100. But it will be harder to equate in your head. I didn't want to have to do a bunch of calculations. Ah well.
