I posted three questions about GC 2 and got 10 views and no responses.

For 2-3 turns after I load a save, influence and revenue are way down, often negative. The game has trouble "waking up."

I've built several starbases along my border and added WDFs and ID's in addition to arming them to the teeth. Will the AI enter the fields of effect during war?

"We wanted you to know that we just discovered "X". Tremble at our scientific might" (or whatever they say). Wow. I discovered that...oh...about two years ago. But thanks for stopping by!

Can't find a definition anywhere.

Why does my homeworld have 20 billion people, 4 healing pools and only 68% morale when several other of my planets have 16 billion, 1 healing pool and 100% morale? I also have 2 morale resources maxed out in mining.

When it says sqrt(pop in billions) does that mean to calculate the square root of the population, i.e. 16B would be 4?

Is there a specific formula that can determine how many BC a planet will generate? For example, how many BC a planet under Imperial gov with 8 billion people at 33% tax rate and no other bonuses will create? I'm having a problem because planetary maintenance costs are dragging my economy into the red and I can't figure out how to manage improvement costs so I stay in the black budget-wise.
