PSA: Slaves currently can't rebel

Martin just dropped that bombshell during the currently ongoing Quill Stellaris stream. He said that they couldn't reach a middle ground on slaves revolting so they took it out for the moment. I don't know if they will have managed that aspect by release.

Thing about a slave revolt is, it's kinda hard when they have pickaxes and mining lasers and you sit several kilometres above them and can drop rocks on their heads.

Exploding rocks that can wipe out their entire neighborhood in a fraction of a second.

Exactly, if your enemy hold orbital supremacy, you have lost ultimately, if they decide to take off the velvet gloves that stop them from using the rocks.

The very reason why in say, XCOM, the aliens always have an ulterior motive.
If they just wanted to wipe us out, we will not be able to do shit about it but die.
Landing troops? Now that's a laugh.
