This also might make emotionless a worthwhile racial trait. Make it so that emotionless races don't experience morale either as a positive or negative. They never get happy or sad.

Far too pricy and easy enough to keep my people happy.
Another way to make emotionless worthwhile would be to have it confer other advantages. Maybe planets of emotionless races should be immune to PPP and their ships immune to crew insurrection? I'd almost say you could justify immunity to the Psychic allegiance converter, too, but that might be too much.
Also, as a general morale thing, how about a bonus when defending homeworlds? Ships over a homeworld could have bonuses to hit and militia/troops on a homeworld could have a bonus for 'ferocity'... hmm, would it be logical to remove these bonuses from 'emotionless' races?
