slaves can revolt. charred corpses cant

But realistically, im not for glassing planets either -- it has a ring of wrong for me. However, my roleplay races are rather cold-blooded (bugs and lizards), so RP-wise, for me, every option is good.

I have a method for dealing with revolting populations. I park a fleet of warships over the planet and threaten to turn them all in walking fire balls. It takes a few months, but eventually the rebels are captured and ....

... placed in protective custody until we can let them go... *caugh* our the air lock *caught*.

I think that Troops on a planet should not count toward cargo on the planet. At least not small troops.

what if they were battered and breaded, and then dipped in a nice honey dijon sauce?

Loser you are correct. I have never taken a world with 16 Billion beings. Someone here a bouts did the nubmers on it. It takes a lot more than 200 troops.

Maybe someone can set up a senario to test it.

From the standpoint of the game, there are several AI races who have gladly glassed my planets, and I take no pity on those. I have at times gotten along fairly well with others, at least until my growth becomes astonishing and I turn into a vile race. I suppose I'm just new enough to mods that I have yet to have one of my planets captured.

From an economic standpoint, I see that capturing planets increases one's score more quickly than glassing and recolonizing them. I have not yet tried capturing an Ork planet, but I suspect it will be costly in more ways than one.

So use troops that have 1 weapon and the rest shields. Lots of larger transports.
