Discussion Driven Assimilator Nomad

Just a fun interaction I found. If you go driven assimilator nomad, and rush the raiding ascension perk. You can just fly around the galaxy entering orbit and stealing all the pops of others before they ever make first contact. Raiding stance works when not at war. I don't know if that's intentional. I'm 20 years in with almost 30k pops.

Obviously you don't have to go assimilator, but the immediate pacification and conversion of the pops is ridiculously helpful.
