Does it make a difference if I have one planet with nothing but farms, one with nothing but manufacturing centers, one with banks.. you get the idea.
Or should I have a few of each on each planet? My thinking on this is initially that it makes sense that the farms of each world would increase the population of that planet, but do they transport food automatically? Is that even an issue int his game? As detailed as the rest of it is, I would think so. But I can't tell.
Also, my second thought is tactical. I just thought about this. I have one research planet that is a Technological Capital. It has one farm, one manufacturing center, and nothing but research centers. It is a class 17 planet, I believe. If the enemy, any enemy, take your pick, takes that planet, that would hurt me. And is therefore a good reason to have quite a few picket ships for that planet.
