<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Which begs the question: why do they have trouble with that more than they would if you actually colonized with people? I occasionally will send a long-range colony ship out minus pop - just to claim an artifact planet (typically non-breathable).

I could care less if that dome gets glassed.

Basically, it will take them a while to get around to that planet with a pop transport.

A human player would make it a priority to ship pop, in order to get the planet up and running quickly.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I just don't know why the A.I. doesn't assign a high priority to this. Sometimes I'll gift a small methane rock colony (no population) to a methane ice A.I. Sometimes they send a population transport eventually, and sometimes it stays empty forever ( by forever I mean until I turn MEE and decide to glass it to stay in character). Add to that the times the A.I. won't accept it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Somehow I don't think that's how 2010 was supposed to play out.
