Removing population from a planet.

Maybe the population just did a Jonestown.

I'm away from my gaming machine, now, or I'd be able to test this.

Does an abandoned planet , 0 population, but facilities still intact, show up on any of the maps as being "owned" or "claimed" by the Empire that built it?

If not, by simply dropping population unto a "premade" colony, ready for production, you can do some really sneaky things...

Oh man Wardad. My brain just did the mental equivalent of a "double-take".

CS, the colony still belongs to the empire. You can still view the build que and facilities, you just can't build anything and you get no resource production. Any facilities with system wide abilities, space port, system grav shield, etc, still pperate as normal. You can drop population on it yourself, but your enemies cannot. They can destroy it fairly easily, or capture it in tactical combat, but not in strategic unfortunatly.

Yes, I am very lazy. I usually abbreviate people's names when replying to a post. And I am an atrocious speller too. I am afriad to try to type Sq...Squ... See I can't do it.

I know what you mean Geo. I can't spell worth anything either. Notice that post was edited for spelling, well I couldn't spell Squirrel without looking at CSs name and then figuring it out, I know it's pretty sad but it's the truth...

Edit: Not for spelling but to say this.

Sorry for getting off topic, I'm shutting up now so you can get back on topic without me rambling on...
