Population modifier idea -- penalty for low population

[Sinapus]

This probably has been covered already, but I can't seem to find it quite yet.

I'm working on a mod that makes a penalty for populations lower than 50m. Mostly, it's to give me a handicap since I tend to build colony ships with a supply pod instead of a cargo bay so my colonies start with 4m people instead of 34m w/cargo bay I.

Playtesting it right now, and it's a rather nasty penalty, but it makes the game -very- interesting.
