I have colonised Mars (as you do) and I didn't realise the people would cause unrest, now Mars requires protection of 9 and I have zero. Stability is now at 14.3%
Now I don't know if I am understanding this wrong and I hope I explain it right.
Just for information, I have no troop transports or ships with weapons yet, also no military engines just commercial.
In the tutorial I'm watching, the guy says that ships offer PPV but that troops kinda do as well , however I can't see any PPV assigned to troops in the creation window. Either way, since I have no troop transport and no ships with weapons I'm kinda stuck. So what's going to be best for me, will concentrating on getting the troops over sort the problem or do I just build a basic weapons platform for a ship and send that over? I have two shipyards so I could build both.
Also how many troops would I need for 9 protection? I have a task group with 500 units ready.
