UPDATE:

They will pay for the rental, but will not pay for the additioal insurance. I will be out of pocket each day $15.00.

Thats three games. I will keep the vehicle through today but it will go back tomorrow.

I'm really glad to hear this is looking brighter for you!

I would definitely encourage you to write the story of your plight!

Wait... weren't you the one who discovered the "jettison the unhappy population into space and then drop new people onto the colony" solution to unrest? Was that in 2000?

Sounds like divine judgement to me . oops, since I wouldn't think twice about using such a tactic (If the citizens fail to accept what is good for them they no longer deserve fair treatment. Replace them with loyal subjects) I had better start rubbing my medallion.

Does that method work? I'll have to try that next time my planets start rioting. I'll build some transports in advance, full of happy population as ready replacement citizens once the disgruntled people are relocated off the planet into space. ...Nah, that's just too evil. I might consider doing that only if it's captured alien population on the planet. I wouldn't do it to my own people.

Hmmm does the unrest actually go with the population? Or does removing them all just reset the unrest counter? Maybe picking them all up in ships and THREATENING them with jettison, then putting them back down will achieve the same thing.

I've never seen the population mood actually immedately change when swapping out captured population for 'native' population. The planet holds the 'setting' independent of the actual population. But obviously, replacing an alien race with your own race gives you the favorable happiness settings instead of the higher unrest rate for non-native/original races.

I think you have to pick all you can up and then abandon (or just abandon if you have few enough pop) the planet for 1 turn then put 'em back down.

I think it's that '1 turn' where the population forgets how it was back down there on the planet. (Or they're looking out the portals and seeing many bodies floating by from whomever was left.)

EDIT: Also, ISTR that captured / surrendered population inherits all of your racial characteristics (except the atmosphere of course).
