It's just not in some people to hold out until the bitter end. I don't really understand that point of view, but I can see how it can happen. Hopefully, in SEV this will be addressed.
But it is in a lot of people... Maybe not until the very bitter end, but most wouldn't go down without any fight at all, just because their government surrendered... SE4 surrender is just a smooth, senseless transition. There is no turmoil. At all. There should be massive chaos, rebels, etc. to deal with, but there is nothing. Surely, in some instances populations surrendered without incident, but in most historical cases, some sort of resistance formed, either immediately or a while later...

Yeah but now a days we don't have battleships that can kill 100s of millions of people with a single assault pass on your planet lol.

Sorry but I think in an era where a single capital ship can kill millions of people they would not put up much resistance.

Though I do agree that the surrender needs to be neutered a little bit, maybe more like having the ships and space based army regiments turned over to your enemy while having the planets break up into single system or even single planet "republics" and governments. that pirvately fund the ground based "regiments".
