[Baron Munchausen]

Here's my Version of colony ships. Note that I've reduced the engine count to make them very slow like SE III colony ships as well as adding the supply storage. this means they use LESS supply per move, though, and combined with the integral supply capacity they now have very good range. They are blimps, though, and so I added the increased vulnerability. Oh, I've also modded my propulsion system sort of like the "newtonian" system discussed elsewhere, so that each engine produces 6 standard movement. The engines per move on these ships is different from what you'd expect. It would only be '1' and '2' in a standard game.
