it physically hurt me that Wiz didn't use the space birds to colonize the ocean planets. or at least turn on free migration so the unhappy blorg could move away and space birds could move in

I though he didn't turn on free migration because his friends would all just leave.

for normal play most likely he would allowed free migration, but with whole "friendship" thing going on, that decision doesn't work with their RP

How do you define their RP as being "bad", what does that mean?!?
- 5
Role playing that make non optimal decisions but RP is pretty much about playing non optimal.

Ok, because some of their decissions just don't fit their friendship-thought. Come on :forced migration and not free migration? (just as one aspect that felt weird)

Many of their less-friendly Sibulan space owl friends would run off back to their old planets--that's what they're trying to prevent.

I really hope it will be possible to have multiracial planets with free migration turned on, and the pops wont immediately move to the planet type they are best suited to.

It is possible, just that the OG Fanatic Xenophobic space owls hate being next to the Repugnant Fanatic Xenophile Blorgs, and all the Fanatic Xenophile space owls already got moved off to the resort planet. I think those OG space owls won't run off right away since they're around 45% Happiness (good enough), but apparently @Wiz is not taking that risk.
pops ethos greatly affects where pops will migrate as well. They are supposed to cluster up with other like-minded pops.

They did the forced migration to fix a mistake.
The RP is the Blorgs funny misguided idea of friendship by force... it's not really that they are friendly... not in human terms. I assumed you got that by know.

This. I feel like different species with similar ethos will consolidate in planets over time, barring special circumstances. Repugnant species will be left for themselves, xenophobic will stick to themselves, etc etc.
Edit: Also xenophilics will try to get away from their own kind. So in a large empire with free migration I think we'll see a little bit of everything ^_^
As others have said, the thing with the Blorgs is that they really want friends but suck at it. So they might do really un-friendly things, but with the intention of being friendly!
Didn't you listen? Friends do not allow friends to freely move to other planets. That would be irresponsible.
