Colonizing info for all
 

Some of you may have already discovered this, but here it goes.

I used intelligence to take over a planet (puppet political parties or anarchy Groups, I don't remember which). In the same system was a planet with a green + and one with a red +. I went ahead a built colony ships at the planet I had taken over. When I colonized the green + planet, it was domed, and the red + plus planet was not. I thought I had found a bug, but I looked more closely at the new planet and noticed that is wasn't the same atmosphere as what I had started with.

My point is this, if you colonize (or load population) from a planet you have taken over, you colonize with that planet's atmosphere. The red and green + symbols are representative for YOUR starting atmosphere. I can now have full colonies on planets with my atmosphere and the atmosphere of the empire from which I stole the planet, assuming the population is loaded from the acquired planet.

I just wanted to pass this on for those that didn't already know.
