Military spending with no starport

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hey guys. I just started playing the game again, I only have the basic Dread Lords game. I see some strategies suggesting not to build starports on many planets. I always build a starport on every planet so that my military spending doesn't get "wasted" on these planets (they just spam constructors, I can always use more constructors). Sooo the question is what happens to military spending on planets without a starport? Is it wasted or does it automatically get channeled into research or social?

Some players don't build the starport directly after the colonization - leaving the planet empty until certain popgrowth has been achieved. This way, an excessive Colony Rush can be done without taking the economy down too much.

Planets without a starport will show the MP in brackets. It is not used, and you don't pay for it. This applies also when there's no ship in the starport queued.

The number which is shown in the brackets is the base MP - although put to the power of your civ-wide sliders.

You can use troop transports to send population from your worlds that have reached their maximum population to your newer worlds.
