So, do ya remember space man spiff (Calvin and Hobbes)?? I remember also reading a science fiction story about a plant like race that would send out space seeds that could land on other planets and start up whole colonies... and then there's the MycopLast (fungal) organisms from MOO (MOO2??)

Anyhoo, I'm wondering if you could put a small colony component on a drone and fire it off as if it were a spore pod of some sort... make it a racial trait. The spore pods would let you make colonies easily, but with very few colonists (perhaps 1M max).

Is it possible ? or are colony components ship only?
