Re: Capturing planets, a question of practicality.

This does work. If you remove the population from the planet completely, by abandoning the planet (but don't scrap the facilities), and then load them back on (you don't have to wait a turn) it resets the planets happiness. Just remember that there has to be a point where the planet is left with a population of zero.
This is usually a pain for high pop worlds though and so is easier to just drop some troops and wait. However, this is a must use tactic if you are playing with an emotionless race.
Whenever an emotionless race conquers a world it freezes the happiness at its current state permanently. I've wanted that bug fixed for a while now but it can be worked around (though it does put a crimp in the playstyle of races like the Borg).
