I introduced a 0.5
population multiplier in that PR only applying to gas giants.
The effectsgroup with the accountinglabel = "BAD_ENVIRONMENT_LABEL"
I hope that is not more complicated for the AI?
(The result should be like a GasGiant size = 3 ; maybe that would be enough for the AI?)

The main metabolism twist for balancing the gaseous is: half the
population on gas giants and unlike any other species they dont have any
population bonus. (From a technical point of view I needed the metabolism for the other metabolism
effects not to apply... it could also be a blanko/catchall metabolism which could be used for any non-standard
population species)
In this thread I wanted to explore ideas how to make the sly more interesting again.
