Why does one want to build ships on low-resources planets? I've always
used those planets to do research, while the >1 resource planets continued
to build (better!) ships. While building the planet, I used to ship
CAP & COL to those planets.

But then again, I've never won a game (I've been close), and I retired
several years ago from active play.
