Do planets with more population need more troops to pacify them?

[Slick]

I haven't found that to be the case, but I haven't done detailed testing. I did just finish a SP game in which I had 4 different breathing populations being ferried around to the various planets and I never noticed a correlation to population size. I was playing Organic and had Replicant Center III's in every system so they mulitplied like rabbits. I never needed more than "one turn's worth" of troops to keep them jubiliant. By reading happiness.txt there does not seem to be a modifiers other than:

Natural Decrease for Other Races := 20
Enemy Troops on Planet := 20
Our Troops on Planet := -2

It appears to be independent of population size.

Slick.
