Genocide

It sounds kinda dark, but I can't judge: this weekend after defeating them I shipped off all the Horatios from Horatio Prime and replaced them with Amoeba. Fitting, don't you think? 

I think what would be nice is the ability to kill of inhabitants. I'm not sure how moral it is to implement this feature, though. Can the devs implement this with a clear heart? I don't know. From a gameplay view, this is necessary for large empires to keep their own population dominant. I know some pop types give you the ability to sacrifice them. Perhaps when you choose to kill population you face heavy disapproval. I doin't want a bunch of Unfallen I recently conquered undoing all my work by having the ecologists become dominant in my UE empire. Then again... this helps to balance out the conflict. At the very least, if killing off pop types are implemented, it should give hefty penalties. Perhaps the more there are of the pop in one system, the higher the penalty? For instance, killing off Sophones in a system where there is only one Sophone should not be as bad. Killing them off where they are dominant in the system should face a much higher exponential penalty. 

After all, if we can "ship off" population, why not kill them off?
