"In fact, it is a waste of population to have more than 10 billion on a SW or RW."
Aside from the already mentioned..64B worth of militia can make life a bit hairy for an invasion force even if all the surface troops and WPs are killed.

Re: How do you quickly build warp modules?
Ain't multi retrofitting considered cheating?

Usually no, it depends on what the host has stated before the game begins.
I always allow it. |

Goodness no!!
The only time I would call it cheating is in turn based where you could keep retrofitting a ship on the same turn till you ran out of resources. Since turned based is solo play, who are you really cheating?

So can a few 1000 large shield troops.

Most certainly not. Gamey, yes. But it is in no way cheating, unless expressly forbidden in the game setup description.

Troops can be killed from orbit; militia can't unless you bombard down the population (and, incidently, destroy facilities)

I'll second that with a quote.

I was under the impression there was no population bonus after ten billion, only a fraction of the maximum available to a sphere world. Is this not so? |

Troops can be killed from orbit but not if a troop transport is bearing down on it.

first. After all weapon platforms are destroyed, then the remaining

Re: How do you quickly build warp modules?
In P&N, give them the Cheap Component mount!  Reduces the component's hitpoints by 50%, sure, but it takes 20% off the cost - your warp opener probably wouldn't survive a combat anyway 
Of course, now that I suggested to SJ that Cheap Components consume more supply, then that could change things
(I did suggest that, right? {checks pirates thread})
