- Check out the chart on page 28. If I get the overcrowding message, I flip
- through my homeworlds and colonies to see which ones are nearing the 20k
- boundary and build cities or adjust my social/colony spending accordingly.

-
- It seems that all the transport ships are one-way tickets. If you want to
- get those folks off, they'll have to build their own ship. This actually
- helps me notice that I've forgotten about one of my transports if it shows
- up in Fleet Control.

-
- As near as I can tell, the numbers are loosely related to the number of
- factories on that homeworld and the efficiency of the operation there (which
- in turn is related to population density, cities, species efficiency, ...)
- It looks like some of the bigger stuff is best built at settlements with
- multiple regions since each region will only hold 4 factories...
-
-
- Just for the record, I really enjoy this game and plan to send Changeling a
- page of comments and observations with my registration card.

- Happy paxxing!
