SJ and Baron M, thanks for the info on facilities.

What do you do in a max technology game (with no intel allowed) with those planets that have no resource production Category over 100%? .....?

For as many planets as you can afford:
To increase the number of facilities
Atmospheric converters –
Down Side: Cost more and could be slower
Capture Populations that breathe that atmosphere
Down Side, Usually much Harder and Requires Micro management moving the pop around.

Cargo Storage Fill it up with units you will need or Weapons Platforms with Drone launchers,

Decoy planets to draw attacks.
Rename it to antagonize your opponent. This does not seem to work against the AI.
Build up defenses to the max,
Withdraw your pop to another planet
Let the enemy attack it

Build a shipyard then build Space Based Ship Yards and Repair bays and remove pop.

Use it to transfer items between allies by dropping the items there and gifting the planet back and forth
