Set over an empty planet of a non compatable type colinize then move to one and drop em

Colonizing a planet uses up the colony ship. You can not pick up that 1 M people. IF the number was higher, then this could be done to gain some free population. But it is only 1 M. I just do not see how this is a productive "exploit". Sure, they will grow, but slowly. It would be more productive and effecient to just pick some people up off of the highly populated HW.

jimbob, AT did not change all of the locations where it says 1.2.0 to 1.2.1. You should be patched fine. IIRC, the only changes in 1.2.1 are to the AI files, so they should have no affect on the PBW game anyways (as they are only used in the host copy of the game, ie the PBW server).

OK in a PBW game would not be a good one agreed,
on a stand alone if the planets are close can keep doing it over and over it will not colonize if the wrong comp on it just move to other planet drop then do it again, yes 1M is small but still adds up if you do it 5X a turn. but no problem
