Just for the record, I wouldn't surrender just because my enemy had destroyed many of my colonies and billions of my people. I just get really hacked off and start playing nasty - set mines everywhere, put attack satellites in orbit around their planets, build a cloaked sun destroyer (or more, if possible) and just generally go crazy. I start taking great satisfaction in glassing their planets at that point. (I had to do that to the Terrans in one game; we'd started out in the same system, and they destroyed not only one of my homeworlds, but multiple new colonies before I finally eradicated the little <censored>'s.
