Can some atmosphere be changed to none ?

[alasyr]

but what if "my" atmosphere is "no" atmosphere.

[DirectorTsaarx]

Should work on rock & ice planets; but not on gas giants. Game does not allow a planet of "Gas Giant/No Atmosphere".

[Triumvir Emphy]

it should convert to whatever is your population atmosphere

[Sinapus]

Would be amusing if had 'none' as your atmosphere and you built a converter on a gas giant planet and when it was finished the giant would vanish.

(There aren't any AI races that have 'none' as atmosphere, so this shouldn't be too crippling for AI players.)

Players who take 'none' for their atmosphere ought to be able to colonize Astroids since they have fewer planets than any other race design. Huge planets with no atmostphere are extremely rare. Usually no atmosphere worlds are small. It looks from the Planets.txt file that they intended to allow colonizing astroids. It must be something they decided not to implement or they have not gotten around to it yet.

With remote mining being so costly, the only thing astroids are good for is turning into planets late in the game.

the reason to pick none would be to handicap yourself while playing a weaker oponent.
