Default Troops

I have a silly question: why would anybody bother landing troops? If I can't capture the unique racial techs. . . and I can develop tech that will make even unattractive planets livable later on. . . and I can reduce my Strength to, say, 10% in order to boost my Ship Production or other stuff. . . why not?

Is there a big advantage to capturing planets intact, simply on an efficiency basis? I can understand wanting to avoid the severe lag-time involved in rebuilding a planet's hardware, but you can always just dump max pop. on a planet, build as you please, and use your fleets to bottleneck the now-uninhabited solar system, or simply keep moving and raiding until your force meets something it can't handle. . .
