I am not sure how would this reduce their mass? a million people takes up the same amount of space frozen or not.

I guess you dont have to feed them when they are frozen, however I always assumed this is what a colony module was all about anyway,
because the numbers of population being transported in the base game is beyond ridiculous and to actually transport that many people you would HAVE to put them into a cryogenic sleep or build a massive generation ship.

One of the things I didnt like in the DS mount mod was that a destroyer could become a colony ship because the colony module is miniturized.

In my mind Colonyships should be the biggest things flying in space...carrying whole populations , construction equipment and their native ecosystems on board.
