Re: Incredible newbie? How to make troops?
You can design troops with either troop weapons (ground cannon) or smaller weapons, but yes you need one of these researched to at least level one.

Re: Incredible newbie? How to make troops?
No, you do not gain technology from invasion.
Sorry, this is not STARS! or MOO.

No. You just get the planet and the population and any facilities that are still on the planet (ie: they didn't get blown up during the invasion). The population can be important, however, because you should now have a race with a different breathing atmosphere and you can move them to a planet with this atmosphere (as long as they are the only race on that planet) to increase the amount of facilities.

Re: Incredible newbie? How to make troops?
You can design troops without weapons, but they will only be good for taking damage and quelling unrest.
You can get new techs if you force an empire to surrender to you.

They can also be useful as cannon fodder.
Drop a pile of them on a planet, and while the defending militia is distracted, pounding on their shields, your real warrior troops with the heavy guns can smash stuff.

According to MM's own "Q&A" on their website you somehow get a 'better chance to acquire a tech' when you capture a facility from a tech levle that you do not have already. Exactly what this means has never been clarified. |

SJ,
"They can also be useful as cannon fodder.

That is cruel, remind me never to join your army.  Hmm, cruel but I can wait to implement it.
I'm guessing that this requires something you have mentioned in the past:
First troops on the transport would be the shielded ones and the 2nd would be the weapons units? In short:
First on, First off, First Shot at.? |
