So res are capped at 9M pop = 3x capacity?

And scanning isn't capped? This + high growth + 100x overpop = scan entire galaxy?


True, but you can't maintain it because of the enormous pop losses.

Examples:
15M gets you scanning of 1732ly (NAS) or 1224/612ly (nonNAS) & 387 mines but costs 1.5M lives.
33M gets you scanning of 2569ly (NAS) or 1816/908ly (nonNAS) & 547 mines but costs 3.75M lives.

For those who don't know, the reason NAS does not get you the normal 2x scanning is that the formula is SQRT(2*Pop/10) rather than 2*SQRT(Pop/10).
