Is there a way to limit the population on habitable planets ?
There 100 billion planets are utterly silly.

PQ limits the population, but nothing prevents you from downloading a plethora of colony ships on a single world. They'll probably have a morale of 1 anyway.
100 billion doesn't look so huge. If the whole surface of the planet can be used (like it's arid as Mars or you can settle oceans), it gives a lot of room. Currently, half of Earth population lies in 2 countries (China and India). If the Americas were as densely populated, you'd have a population of more than 10 billion. Then settle Africa, get rid of the deserts in Arabia, central China, America and settle these. Settle teh oceans too, while you're at it.
Comparing the size of India and China with the surface of Earth makes 100billion look conservative. Our Earth is PQ 15. A PQ 20 planet would just have to have a diameter of 1.1 times the Earth to get 33+% more surface for instance, and gravity wouldn't be increased that much, depending on the mass of the core.
