My questions are: how soon do you start to colonize the NBR planets within your borders?

1) When do you start shipping pop and to what level?

2) In terms of HW's - what percentage can you drop your pop (by transplanting population) before it affects production?

What I've been doing;

I fill up all my breathable planets ASAP. I then send out pop transports to augment the population in those planets choosing the larger planets first.

I have 3 colony ship types/atmosphere:

1) LR (long range) - holds an extra supply pod
2) SR (short range) - holds an extra cargo pod - used to colonize and jump-start breathable colomies.
3) SR-nbr - no cargo pod - used to populate non-breathable planets.

Also - I keep a CS or two mothballed for contingencies - setting up outPosts and the like.

Comments?
