Sinapus I like your idea and think it will be very nice for a game with human players only. However Baron has made an important point: the AI will have a major problem with it, as the population minister is not very efficient.
Actually, since the AI usually puts a cargo module on each colony ship, it won't be as affected. It will only suffer at 70% on the first turn, then go up to 80% on the next turn and steadily grow for awhile.
If you mean bombardments or that annoying cosmic firestorm that hits from time to time, you are probably right. As it is, in a game I'm playing all the AIs seem to be doing fine so far in a High Difficulty, no bonus game.
