QBrigid,

When someone on this board takes a discussion to PM, it usually means that it is getting close to flames in the current topic. Straw-man arguments are not appreciated on these Boards. Fyron has the rank "Shrapnel Fanatic" for a reason, and he does read Posts, and Posts well thought out responses.

Nobody uses the strategy of retrofitting colony ships at the destination for a very good reason: it takes extra time/cost to build the retrofit base in the destination system, and extra time to do the actual retrofitting. Time is of the essence in colonizing, and it is more "flexible" to have colonizers that can land ASAP.
