3. Up load population onto a transport, and then find a black hole and forget em.
4. Blow up the planet
5. Blow up the star, and reform the planets.
6. Give the planet to an enemy, then attack it.

Ok, its late, and yes, I am tired.

I thought you could not scrap a ship containing cargo? Apparently this restriction is only effective for units? Can you mothball a ship containing population? What happens to the population when you unmothball, I wonder?

Excuse my ignorance, it's been awhile since I played, but....

Why would you want to reduce the population levels?

Or are we just considering it for pure sadism purposes?

Did that facility ever work correctly? It would be a great way to collect emergency resources, especially if you had a resource converter nearby...
