i don't think they drop all the dole on your planet every time it goes home, do they? chances are the q is on those ships.
mind you.. my home planet has a budget surplus of not quite 500k it's not capped either. question is.. why bother with the cap if it starves anyway? surely the point of the cap is to make sure it produces enough food by itself at max pop by limiting lvl to around 80?
