This feelgood comment stuff makes me want to throw up.
Aww, poor Kai, I think someone needs a hug! *huggles!*
Also since the arc pop has increased to 2000 is it possible to give all planets below that 2000 population?
That would be nice, but I think the same approach as BM will be taken: everyone took a hit, so deal with it. Sure, it'll mean some people are disadvantaged, but not game breakingly so.
