I ran into the same issue towards the end of the game when I was invading another start system and also in my own star system in which I controlled all but two planets. I took out all of the transmission towers and the planets still repopulated themselves. I even decimated both planets. I think this is an issue that needs to be fixed.
I believe that the ideas that dancing fool has are great. It would add more character to the game.
As I have been playing the beta the pirates have seemed incredibly overpowered and aggressive. Would it make sense to allow a player to be able to counter their bounty with a bribe to turn them into privateers. It would be kind of cool to create a black market structure in which you can hire these privateers as mercenaries to help defend your territories against opponents or other pirates. This would allow a line of defense in your home worlds when your fleet is out conquerring the opponents
