Hi tesco

I personally haven't seen it happen.

But from your description, its seems like a definite bug.

A large planet in a unmodded game shouldn't have a population of 9600. That alone is a bug. And going to 9600 from 4800 only compounds the bug.

Seems like the computer is confusing it's planet sizes when a planet riots.

I'd mail it in to Aaron.

Edit: Hmmmm wonder what happens if you drop troops on it to stop the riotting?

This is an old problem, but I haven't seen it in a while. I thought it got fixed. Used to happen a lot with PPP. Guess it's still around.

Tesco can't drop troops on it to stop the rioting because it rebelled and started its own empire. Dropping troops would be necessary to capture it. If I had a troop transport in the area, I would try the planet...Greybeard

That's really funny you say that. I've had a game recently that the opposite is happening. I keep ordering my ships to declaoak and when the turn runs they are cloaked again.
