Planets rioting

I wouldn't take extra happiness points:

1.2.4 Happiness: Every five percentage points you increase your happiness makes 0,1% people happier every turn. For example if you increase happiness 10% it's the same effect if you have one troop on your every planet.

Hehe, like I said...Asmala is the "Analyzer".

a recapture or police force is also a good idea-- I usually build a small transport loaded with "police" troops (police troops are cheap and have only the cockpit and maybe one weapon) keep your transport upgraded with engine tech so that it can move fast to any trouble spots, emergency propulsion, and if you have the tech a warp point opener-- this will ensure fast arrival to trouble systems.

Have you read the FAQ yet?

Or if you have orbiting ship yards - have an orbiting cargo base. You can store lots of troops in one planet on the system - build em on planet and transfre up - have a quick moving transport in each 2nd system and you can move the troops should troubles start. More a better tactic if you have a high events setting with the worse severity settings.

This is my usual tactics. I build shipyard on almost every planet and then orbiting Space yard with garco base in it. Usually they build ships and fighters, but at wartimes, they occasionally do some troops if planets are rioting. My people always smile happily when there is a gun pointed on their backs

Small addition about riot prevention:
If you are Bloodthirsty, conclude a Partnership treaty carefully. Partnership treaty has highest negative effect on you pop happiness after Subjugated treaty and plagued planet in system. But declaration of war will make 'em really happy.
And vice versa, if you're playing for Peaceful race. Look at Happiness.txt - it's all where.
