Wingte, if you've been to a new system through the warp point, and have a map, you can simply select your colony ship and then change systems without losing the command interface for that ship, then instruct it to colonize a planet in that system, or you can manually load population and then colonize. personally, I colonize with the basics, a cargo facility, and then follow up with a medium transport under minister's control. The advantage of this is the transport operates on it's own, without micro-management, and the size of the colony grows almost immediatly without spending tons of credits on large colony ships. A colony ship is taken apart and used for the colony, but a population transport is reused.
