Oh well, it's excusable that I didn't know. The thread is from about a year before I joined But it's good to know I'm not the only one.

got new colony tech.

"upgraded" old colony ship (didn't remove old colony module, but did change the ship type from rock colonizer to ice colonizer)

built a very large number of new "ice" colonizers which were still rock colonizers.

sent them to various ice planets.

got the "can't colonize an ice planet" error.

was very pissed.

corrected design problem.

sent colonizers each back to a spaceyard.

retrofitted.

drained resources so bad that lots of ships got scrapped.

was very very pissed.
Heh, I too have done this very thing once or twice as well. Really sucks.
