Lastly, the PM should recognize the "magic numbers" for population as defined in settings.txt. He should try to the max extent to maintain populations of 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, etc. on each planet so as to maximize population bonuses.

You can ameliorate this by adding in 1% bonus levels as opposed to just the 10% that are there now. I made a "Smoothed Pop Settings" minimod that did this quite some time ago and emailed it to MM, but I guess he didn't like it.

or maybe MM is going for a sort of minimum approach to the files to minimize confusion for new players. if people want something more complicated, they can mod it in.

or at least, that's my guess.

5. Added - Empire style directory label to the Empire setup window.

Yay! My suggestion made it in! Mac will like this one.

Now we just need the vehicle size and target type fields to accept comma separated lists, and Adamant will be ready to rock and roll!
