Default Re: Using captured races for population

quote:
Say I've captured a smaill transport of another race. They can breathe a new atmosphere. So excitedly I decide to exploit this advantage.

But...

It seems to me that it would take forever for this small group to grow enough to be of use colonizing more that perhaps 1 or two planets? Am I missing something?



If you have 4M colonists, then you can potentially exploit an additional 80 facilities if you can move each of these four colonist Groups onto four huge previously domed colonies. Even if those four huge worlds never grow beyound the original 1M, that seems like a pretty good increase in production, doesn't it?
