I normally never had a problem sending colony ships, but sometime the planet chosed is already colonized by another player and this fact is not recognized in the list of colonisable planet beaucause it happen after your Last unit leaved that system. In this case none happen if you send a colony ship.
I hope this can help you.
About your Last message:if the planet is already colonized when you try to send a colony ship but you can't know that beaucause you don't have a ship in that system, your colony ship don't load population and don't start moving at all.
