Setting Colonizing to only Breathable
 

How do I make it so that colonizing is allowed, but only for a planet that has the same atmosphere type as the race in the colony ship?

I tried the only breathable setting, but when I capture enemy ships (Oxygen) they are only allowed to colonize my kind of world (Hydrogen). And the colonies are domed, which is exactly what I am trying to avoid, No Domed colonies, if you can't breath it, you can't colonise it.

You can't do what you are attempting to do.

There is another setting that only allows you to coloize your own planet type. Combined with your own atmosphere setting you already tried it will eliminate any domed colonies being formed by your own ships. But if you capture an enemy ship you will still only be able to colonize your own type and atmosphere. If the enemy is a different atmosphere type the result will be a domed world. If the enemy has a different type of colony ship (rock v ice, etc) you won't be able to use his colony ship at all without retrofitting it.

The only option would be to setup the game so that all the races in the game are the same atmosphere and planet type. That way regardless of who you capture you always get the same type.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to let my enemies colonize them for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif This would be too powerfull against the AI anyway.
