Turned planets still have original race's ships and starbases.

Re: When influence convinces a planet's population to revolt and go with my race.

Star-bases aren't so bad as I just buy them from the original race, unless the race has been defeated then I have to destroy them so I can put my own star-bases in their sphere of influence.  The one time I did that and there where ships defending they turned pirate and were a thorn in my side for quite a few turns.  Kinda neat actually, but there should be an alternative.

The real problem that I can't seem to work out is with the original races ships in orbit around the turned planet.  If the race is still active I guess I could just buy them, but if the race has been defeated how do I remove those ships so they don't take up spaces that I would like to use for my own ships so that they can defend the planet?

I have same problem, when I flipped a Drengin planet...

I agree that converted planets should either be able to keep the stuff in influence, or the other faction needs to take their stuff back. This sounds like a bug.

While I agree that its frustrating & I'd like to see it change, I wonder if not flipping directly makes more sense & gives influence victory more flavor along the path.
• perhaps with ships give them a % chance of flipping each turn, maybe add a module that reduces the chance and generates local influence for the losing race even after.
• shipyards are entirely dependent upon the planet, maybe give them a %chance to flip or self destruct with or without damaging the colony if they are within a certain range of the planet.
• starbases?... To this day, there are still islands virtually under the control ofcolonial powers that served very important purposes hundreds of years ago & still sorta kinda sometimes.   perhaps make them give a 60/40  split to the new/old civ in all but new civ/oldciv military combat where just the newrace gets the benefit.  Keep the maintenance fees under the losing race unless they sell/give away the starbase &lose the benefits.

Random would be good to make it less predictable.

25% chance either way:

1) You get them

2) The old race keeps them and moves them.

3) They go Pirate or Minor race independent. (50/50 chance). Each major race could have a minor race group things go into, or they turn into if they are defeated, or through rebellion events.

4) They blow up

Should probably just follow the same mechanic as civilization I would think. The units retreat back to the next closest edge of the civilization that owned them. Not sure what I think on starbases yet though.
