OUCH! PLANETS ANGRY. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for the comments. This is still a bit weird.

I'm neutral. There are no colonies or other races in my home system, and just one allied ship in my second system.

I had no idea that just about everything you do as neutral negatively affects happiness. I don't see this in the manual!

The idea of producing and mothballing ships is intriguing. Are you sure that a mothballed ship increases happiness?

Does anyone know the relative impact of a orbiting ship versus troops?

How many troops would you put on a planet?
