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.

the most efficient way to design troops, unless you want to go really crazy and have only one ECM and one sensor per stack, is to make two kinds of troops: one with all shields and an ECM module, and one with all guns and a sensor module.

load them in the transport so that the shield troops are the first down, and take fire first, and you should be able to capture darn near anything. especially if you are attacking with two whole transports of troops, and the first transport contains nothing but shield troops, and the second contains nothing but gun troops.

Or, if you are playing Porportions, a thousand infantry can conquer danm near anything, and isnt that hard to produce. In fact, I dont usually bother researching troops in Porportions, unless im playing against a person.

Wiping out civilian populations for covenience and fun? I'd say that counts as evil.

Worse, is programming a game where it happens on accident sometimes. Malfador is extra-evil!

how about blowing ten millon people out an airlock into the stratosphere, just to make room for one million people whom breathe the right atmosphere?

or blowing up a planet full of people, because you want to rebuild it as a different type or atmosphere?
