BTW, PvK, do you think 1 year is enough time to evacuate a core instable planet in Proportions ?

No, generally not! Unless you are late in the game and have already built a number of large starliners with high-tech cargo bays, and/or you have someplace nearby to evacuate the population. I've played a couple of games where I tried to evacuate homeworlds to escape catastophic events (or even plagues), and even if you emergency-build dozens of transports, although you can save a lot of population, usually many more of them can't be saved. It helps if there are nearby colonies so you can ferry back and forth and re-use transports quickly. So, it's pretty interesting and worthwhile to try to do this, but even with a huge fleet of transports, it's really hard to move several billion people in a year.

Then afterwords, you end up feeling a little silly with a huge fleet of population transports... . Hmm, refit them into hybrid warships?
