Planetary population swap?

[Cryptotec88]

Until my postman delivers, I'm playing the demo.
My question is this: I captured an enemy planet that is Rock-Hydrogen. The resident race breathes Oxygen so the planet is domed. I can colonize all 3 types and my race breathes hydrogen. Is there a way to swap population on the planet without losing all of the facilites? Basically I want to get rid of the dome and get the extra space out of the planet. Any takers?

Easy as pie! (Pumpkin, given the season! )

All you need to do is send a transport with the right population type, but not 100 percent full, and with enough space to hold the entire current population. If the planet is full, move some of them into the transport and replace with some of the hydrogen breathers. Then swap the remaining oxygen breathers into the transport or as many as you can. Keep swapping until you've got a planet with only hydrogen breathers. Once there are no oxygen breathers left on the planet it will be "full" capacity instead of domed. No special measures necessary. It won't let you remove ALL of the population from a planet anyway.

Thanks! You saved me lots of re-loads!

And if your transport can't hold all those inferior oxygen breathers, then just jettison them into space. Bahahahaha!!!! They will learn to fear me!!!

A very old thread revived. But I need your help!

Okay so I can swap population. But usually I end up with a PopTransporter which has mixed population in its cargo bays. Now it happens that I am a benevolent leader of my people and "jettison cargo" is not an option.

Now what shall I do??
