Poddu has some valid points in regard to the poor documentation in the game and the effect that has on vairous players and their willingness to recommend this game to others.

I do have a counter point to his view on colony ships being automatically loaded w/colonists. Some situations can find you in the position to expand quickly but not have the population on most of your colony worlds to fill all the colony ships you build. I solve this by building CS wherever I have a shipyard, regardless of the pop of the planet, then move the CS to a move heavily populated planet and load up the colonists. This prevents the removal of all but 1M colonist on worlds w/small pops when building CS. While this is verrrrry unintuitive (a word?) it does, I feel, serve a purpose.
