A cool feature would be for Benevolent powers to be able to capture and "convert" populations from Transports and Colony ships rather than kill them off.
This could be a special power frmo the Benevolent tree, either Outreach, or Enlightenment.
I just worked through a stack of 6 transports - each with 2.5 population, feel sorry for all those mercs...
