Let the enemy either retake it OR le tthe rioting eventually lead to a full fledged rebellion (I believe this is possible) and when it happens send a ship with a plague deployment system.

Wait a few turns nice empty planet for you.

Then again for the most part with me if I know the enemy is likely to riot I just send in plague warheads right away wait a few turns and go in with transports with a handful of troops and a boatload of population http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Perma-riots
 

That sounds like an unnessesarily brutal and expensive way to evacuate, abandon and recolonize.

Re: Perma-riots
 

OUR YOU SERIOUS??? You mean to tell me that if I took 'emotionless' for a racial trait and then captured a planet that started rioting, it would continue to riot for the rest of the game??? I think there must be a way to pacify the pop of a planet like that?

Re: Perma-riots
 

Well thats a bug to be sure!

Review my original suggestion for dealing with this problem.

Re: Perma-riots
 

How would an emotionless race even get to be rioting?

Re: Perma-riots
 

Capture a planet that is rioting.

Re: Perma-riots
 

I'm pretty sure you can just replace the population with a transport. I'd jettison the rioting population from the transport while I'm at it.

Re: Perma-riots
 

Or you could just redistribute the pop to a lot of other planets, and transplant your own citizens on the rioting world.....

Re: Perma-riots
 

But you can't remove the last 1M, and they will remain rioting and override the happiness of any transplanted population, right?

Re: Perma-riots
 

You could remove that last 1M from the original settlers, but I'm pretty sure happiness is *per planet*, and that's it: races only have an impact through their own specific modifiers (the last few lines in happiness.txt).

As I understand it, Emotionless simply means "no happiness checks throughout the Empire", so happiness stays the same everywhere, and cannot change for rioting planets. It might also be a very high "Go back to indifferent" routine, if Angry/Jubilant captured planets go down to the Indifferent level (rioting can never go away through natural decrease).
