It's based on EM emissions (and the Xenophobia of the other race) rather than actual population, as that represents a combination of people and assets. It's assumed you declare the population during negotiations for them to leave. It doesn't need to be directly detected.

If you are making a claim on the system, the NPR does not need to have detected the population themselves.
It is assumed that you will provide the evidence to support your claim.

Any Space Station or ship would be classified as a separate contactI wonder if a Naval/Commercial Shipyard would count as part of the planet's signature.

Any Space Station or ship would be classified as a separate contact and therefore not count towards perceived colony size/importance. I do believe that ship/station contacts are considered as part of the territorial claims system, but separately from the colony.

Increased Pops will boost these values... what else will?
Are there space station modules that will pump out Thermal and EM to make your colony look bigger and more imposing?
