Default Re: Changing Empire in mid game, is it possible?

Ruatha - I have the habit (Im sure most here do) of colonizing one of two ways....

1) Direct sight colonization. You see a nice planet in your system, click the colony ship, hit the 'C' key (which will auto load population once complete) and click the planet to colonize.

2) Hit F4 and select one of the pretty views (like Colonize/Breathable) and a list of planets is at your fingertips. All of them using your atmosphere type, etc. Move your mouse over them to see where they are on the galaxy map, or right click them to view the planet in detail (I think that works on this screen anyway)... then click the 'Send Colony Ship' button near the bottom, and it will ask which planet you wanna send one to. I use this option once the open areas of the galaxy get HUGE and there are many planets available.
