That's just plain cruel but quite effecitive. I'll haver to remember this one next time the population is "questioning my authority"

I swear the only reason MM put that feature in is to satisfy power-crazed sickos like us

By default, native populations have an anger decrease, while all enemy populations have an anger increase. They're not keeping their own characteristics, though; you could mod a special happiness trait for your race, and even standard alien races would follow your happiness type.

It is a little bit more complicated as explained in a other topic on happiness:
The standard negative value of happiness decrease for your races moves the happiness towards indifferent. The standard positive value of happiness decrease for foreign races moves their happiness toward extremes, either angry or jubiliant. You could call this a choleric behaviour.
And your are right if the two values of the natural decrease are identical the happiness of your race and foreign races you captured will be identical.

believe it or not, what I usually do is just that - jettison the colonists because dealing with rioting is too much of a pain. I am trying to find a good reason to keep them.

Reguarding the mood of captured planets.
Frequently I have captured a planet and the race is Happy. I have noticed this happens in systems where I enter and capture within just a few turns. Planets in the same system that are captured sevearl turns later seem to be less accepting of their Liberation.
I'm speculating that the "Liberated" populous has the same mood from befor it was "Liberated" The longer my ships are there the worse the mood of the population.
Am I off base here?
