I have repeatedly, and loudly, requested counter measures for both PPP and Crew Insurrection. If your TROOPS on a planet would remain loyal and fight with the population of a PPP'd planet just as if it were an invasion then you'd have a real reason to garrison important planets with troops. It would be much more realistic and make the use of PPP much more difficult. In fact, you'd probably see people choosing to try it on 'backwater' planets where there isn't likely to be a garrison -- which would also be more realistic. Add in some sort of accounting for the happiness level of the planet in deciding the success rate and you've got a pretty decent game system. Similarly, if the marines in a boarding parties component would try to take control of a ship that mutinies, just as if they were boarding an enemy ship, you'd have a reason to use boarding parties instead of just sticking a self-destruct device on your ship. As with everything else, keep asking. It takes a lot of consistent requests to get through the noise level that MM is living with.
