The exiles get the victory points for the system despite the enemy ship in the system but do they get their bonus for an orbital if they do not have the colony ships to repopulate it?
Exiles score VP for the hex (ships are irrelevant to end game scoring). They do NOT get their bonus VP for that Orbital in the situation described. In their rulebook entry (on page 14 of the online rules) it says "1 VP for each Orbital you have a cube on at the end of the game." Pretty explicit.

We have been playing a harder to take the galactic center variant by placing both the GCDS and the Ancient Dreadnought. It still gets taken but we usually loose a few more ships to the pair. I wonder if we should award an extra discovery token for this?
This is a variant and shouldn't be included in the official FAQ. There's a variants forum where lots of people would have an opinion.
