You could just take over the system with pacific conversion by enveloping that system with your influence

or

You could just planet crack the system 

Hi,

What you all said is correct. We are also looking into having other ways to interact with a system after a successful invasion.

Best,

What you ask has lit of sense.

But had been discused lots of times. The reason behind this is to avoid people in MP rush invasions + 1 turn decolonizing, completely breaking another empire. With ownership you got at least 8 turns to recover the systems.

As I play SP, for me too is an annoyance, but given the reason I just deal with it and plan before starting a chain of invasions I cannot deal with.

I hope you understand why they made this that way. Maybe it should be an specific option to disable it only for SP, but provably this will only complicate things for ppl who play both SP & MP, specially if they're new to the game.

As Lumeris, you can actually profit retroactively by dropping old systems for dust and replacing them with the new ones! ^_^
I really wish you could sell the new ones outright, instascrap them.

I just invade, sell all system improvments, ship any population (if I want them) to my own worlds and then gift the planet to The Unfallen. They can't vine to it, so it just reverts back to a empty planet.

Or if you want someone to inhabit it gift it to somoene else.

Maybe there should be an option where you can "shut down" a captured planet so that it produces nothing useful but doesn't count against your colonization limit.

Or maybe systems where your ownership is less than 100% should have a different penalty than happiness; maybe they cost manpower and/or influence each turn to keep the population under control, but they don't count against your colonization limit until your ownership reaches 100%, because until then they're not really your colony.

Sack & Loot, Occupy and Raze as in Total War would be really nice to have. Timely restrictions could stay to not mess up the pace of the game too much.

You can always gift a system to anyother player, but yeah having more options at landing would make sence. 

I only started playing with the Vaulters expansion.  But you can invade as privateers and then that system will slowly depopulate at the same time providing an influx of dust income.  Eventually it will be an empty system again.

Other factions can do this as well. Privateers is a mid/late game military tech. Simply make an invasion fleet. Enable privateer mode for that fleet once the tech is learned, and invade an enemy system. Once completed the system improvements will remain for X turns and population will depelet over time until all is destoryed at the end of the timer. No one will own it or benefit from fidsi or mining furing this time unless it is reclaimed by a futute faction controled invasion force. You may have to defend it longer, but you wont own it and it wont hurt your expansion cap.
