low class planets

HELP!!

I've been playing DA now for over a week. DA now has 1-3 class planets that are vertually useless to begin with. however, you can upgrade them. My problem after another empire takes that planet and you retake it, it looses the class ex. Jagged Edge appears and takes your planets. I retake them they go back to the origional class 2 planet with no upgrade option and only two buildings. Also low class planets for me don't seem to grow population wise. I'm approx 6yrs into the game and planets that I colonized with 500 million people still sit at or withing 100 million. Can any one help or has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that needs to be fixed.

also it seems higher class planets don't show upgraded class unlike the origional version ex. in Dread Lords class 11 planet origional might show as class 15 later in the game after being upgraded, in DA that same class 11 planet always shows class 11 and will loose any upgraded terraforming upon being taked over please explain.

The system seems wierd to me too. I've yet to colonize a class 1-4 that couldn't be upgraded to have tons of tiles via terraforming, but I've conquered a few 1-4 that had zero additional tile potential, which seems really odd. Could just be luck, I guess.

I'm totally confused on population caps too. I get planets with populations stuck at some arbitrary value like 2.5b/6b - it's confusing because the max potential pop shows 6b, but the population never grows. I love it when I add farms to these worlds that do nothing (which I eventually remove). On most planets it seems like you can grow pops to any size, but then there are these rare/odd/undetectable (to me) few that are perma-stuck. It doesn't seem consistent either, or I can't figure it out. I've had class 4's I colonized that I could grow to 12+, and class 4's that have flipped or been conquered that seemingly get "stuck."

Yeah, that is exactly what I was talking about, anytime I've colonized low class planets it gives me a lot of expandable tiles. However, anytime I take them over they show up as the origional planet class with no expandable options. I wish someone could explain why. The same way why does the pop. get stuck?

theres another thread about it, its some kind of bug that SD squished in Dread Lords, but somehow cropped up again.
