Re: SS Pop Stealing

I was originally a (fairly vocal) supporter of this as a valid SS trait. Then we played a game where we allowed it to be used. Absolutely terrifying. There's really no defense when a 98%-cloaked freighter fleet moves into orbit and uploads your ENTIRE POPULATION. Even if they leave some stragglers, they can popdrop the world the next turn and suddenly they've got a world for virtually nothing. You can't see them coming, and they can steal pop even if there is a starbase in orbit.

Yes, it makes sense for the SS to be able to do this. It is, however, such a powerful ability that it severely unbalances the game and should be disallowed. I have this bit of advice for anyone considering allowing it in a game:

Play an SS if it's allowed. Then you have recourse when somebody steals your pop out from under you.

Actually, if a game was limited to only SS races, this might be very interesting to allow.
