Cant figure this out.

No. Every characteristic of the race except the atmosphear they breath changes to YOUR race characteristics, so if you modified the anger files of your race to never riot, they will never riot, or quickly go to indifference or better (In Theory)

Actually, I think alien populations do have a negative happiness modifier in the data files.

ok, now I am confused again. If the "alien" race does get angered over being part of my race, then they are retaining some of their racial traits. The Happiness and AI_Anger files don't explicitly talk about this and I don't know if they even apply - if it is true that they lose their racial traits.

Does anyone know for sure 100% the answer to the question: Do captured alien colonists behave EXACTLY like one of yours except for atmosphere breathing? They sure SEEM to get pissed off easily.

Alien populations in your empire retain their atmospheric preference and I believe they will also lean toward rioting when some of their native population enters the system and you are at war with them.

That's the only difference betweeen them and your population.

It would be so cool if they retained *all* their attributes...

Nobody except MM knows something 100% sure about SE IV .
But as far as I know there are only two differences of captured population to your own: the atmosphere they breathe and the "natural decrease for other races" of happiness as stated in your race happiness file. The latter I tested not long ago and it seems to work indeed.

If the transport is full, and they're still rioting -- well, just wrestle between your conscience and the ol' jettison cargo button.

That's just plain cruel but quite effecitive. I'll haver to remember this one next time the population is "questioning my authority"

I swear the only reason MM put that feature in is to satisfy power-crazed sickos like us

By default, native populations have an anger decrease, while all enemy populations have an anger increase. They're not keeping their own characteristics, though; you could mod a special happiness trait for your race, and even standard alien races would follow your happiness type.
