I believe the cap has been lowered to 325 for x-treme as well.

Awsome! Thanks, VERY useful info here. However I wish I had read this sooner as now I have sunk in too much res. in a planet that has only 147 fields and I think I'm gonna have to keep it now...

It might seem painful at the time, but correcting problems like that will always pay off in the end.

Hmmmm.... Well, until I reach my limit, I'll probably just use it as a resource hub...

That is a good idea. Until you reach your limit there is no need to abandon undersize colonies and you can use them as resource feeders for your keepers.

However, the longer you wait to abandon a small planet, the more it hurts to rebuild another one to the same level. Assuming you keep upgrading the buildings on the small one, of course.

Eeek... Hmmm... True, but as my others that are good grow, they'll be able to support any new planets by the time I need to abandon it. (I'd hope.) New planets are easy, its the location that's hard to get sometimes... Say If I was to abandon my planet, could I send another colony ship there & have a "different" planet in the same space? (I never deleted a planet, so I'm not sure.)

A deleted planet is not fully removed until 24 hours has passed, at which point you can recolonise the slot and get a different planet
