Okay so I can swap population. But usually I end up with a PopTransporter which has mixed population in its cargo bays. Now it happens that I am a benevolent leader of my people and "jettison cargo" is not an option.

Now what shall I do??

Send the transport to a worm hole.

Some Nice Options:
1) Send the various pop off to other worlds where they can breathe the local atmosphere.
2) Store them in a space hotel until you colonize a new planet then use them to fill it.
3) Give them away to somebody else.

Once you have only the population that breaths the atmosphere you will notice that the population limit is now MUCH higher for the planet. You should have no problem landing all the population that breaths that atmo. (unless you are designing really HUGE transports!)

ad 1)
If I drop them, both get dropped -> and I get a domed colony.
ad 2)
Exapmle: I have 500M Oxygen breathers and 400M Hydrogen breathers. I order "Drop" them onto an oxygen planet -> and I get a domed colony.

ad 3) as I said before ... I'm one of those nice guys

Ah! (Ding, light comes on)

The reason you are having trouble with this is you are using the drop cargor remotly button. What you need to do is park the transport over the planet where you want to offload part of the population to and use the "Transfer cargo" button. This give you a screen where you can specify which people to offload and which to keep on the transport.

AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know? I guess I never ever used the "Cargo Transfer". The button was always there. Unbelievable!
THANKS!!
