Re: Conquered races - additional benefit: forced migrations and growing of planets
Why wait for enemy submission? In a "quiet" begin game my first three research topics are: Mil Strat, Mil Strat and Ship Capture.
Then I arm all my scouts with cheap boarding parties and capture any unguarded colony ships I see. I often wonder what kind of propaganda my guys sell the hydrogen breathing crystals to make them work for us...
Needless to say my home sector is always diverse. Often I can grab a conlony ship from an AI player on first contact and still make a trade or other alliance right after (all alliaces are, of course, temporary).
