I'm new to the game and I'm trying to understand how a planet's MP is calculated, and how it breaks down among military, social and research spending. I can't seem to figure it out as the numbers don't add up. In a new game I'm playing as humans and have not selected any racial abilities. My home planet has 24 MP, and my spending is set at 100% but my military, social and research totals at the top of the screen are 14, 7 and 8--which totals 29, not 24. My spending distribution between military, social and research is 33%, 33%, and 34%, respectively. Again, what relationship these numbers bear to 14, 7 and 8 escapes me. Can someone explain to me how this works? The manual just confuses me even more, I'm afraid. Thanks.
