It can't build anything, so I presume it can't produce either. Note that you can't bomb the planet or invade it either, except in Tactical Combat.

All Resource, Research & Intel facilities will stop working.
I believe facilities that have System wide abilities still work, such as the 'System Robotoid Factory' or Space Port.

hehe yea I heard you could not bomb or invade the planets. Now if only there was a "Commit suicide, the enemy is one sector away" button.

There is the 'Abandon Planet' command.
It only works on small population colonies - under 50M I think.
I've always wondered how the population would react to that order from their leader...

under 10M

No, it is under 50 million, as Grazic thought.

Except this destroys all the facilities too. I was (jokingly) refering to a strategy where you could kill off all the pop on a doomed planet and then get it back fully loaded with facilities by dropping pop on it.
