Immigration?
I was wondering... when a planet is full of people (i.e. my homeworld with 4B people) is there any sort of immigration to other "available" planets, or do they.. uhh... just stop reproducing? If it isn't happening, I think that would be a good idea to include eventually because it would help system growth and be more realistic (c'mon, we can't expect 4 billion people to stop having sex!).
Just some thoughts
Edit: fixed typo

Re: Immigration?
Yep, after that, sex is outlawed. Can you say, "Pop Transport"?
Oh, BTW, looking at some of the species, sex may not even be an option...they might just "split" or something...

Or you could take a Malthusian view, where the death rate becomes equal to the birth rate.

Re: Immigration?
lol.... there would be full blown riots if sex (or splitting for those over-weight aliens!) was outlawed.
I know it's doable with pop-transports, but that's such a pain in the ***. I guess that what I was thinking of was an automated Version of that. Maybe with a new facility or something

Re: Immigration?
Depends on your species. Humans would probably keep having sex, and just kill each other to stay under the quota.
Just kidding. More accurately, humans would probably overpopulate and erode their own planet's ability to support life until it was too late.
