If they get exploded in the battle...oh, well!

Since you do not need boarding modules equipment to transfer crew to your own ships, a few junky, often stolen, transports can keep topping off boarding ships in this way.

Hah, interesting. I only use boarding ships with certain factions, but I'll keep that in mind as something to try.

I've never felt like I needed the micromanaging bonus from genociding my own population to win. The viscids are the only eradicate-on-sight race in my games.



When scrapping a transport, its content should probably be sent to the nearest planet. Possibly using another transport from the trade pool so as to avoid turning that into a fast-travel exploit somehow.

Full agreement. I don't think genocide should be that trivial. (This still won't stop mass levying of the population for military assault duties to be spent that way, but getting rid of the single most degenerate exploit of the system is a good thing.)
