chances are the q is on those ships.
Nope, 15q.
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?
To stop people being able to bring in loads of food to keep a planet alive and have it producing ridiculous amounts of steel per turn?
Plus, food is just a % of the amount of people you have, so if you got MC at 80 then you'd forever gain population and therefore all resources. But if you got MC at 90 and let population keep growing, you'd get a bigger and bigger food deficit because the % of food from population is lower.
