I shoulda been a little clearer - the pirate colony ship was meant to replace the normal colony ship - smaller size, lower cargo, slower speed should be a good handicap to the pirate race... I meant for the race to not use the normal large colony ships. A pirate race couldn't afford the subtraction of 45M population so the 1M that the smaller colonizer used would be more appropriate, the slower speed is meant to limit their expansion.

the only problem I have to figure out is how to program a race to NOT use the normal colonizers... also, I would like to be able to limit a pirate colony to only small or tiny planets - don't know how or even if it's possible to do this.
