Default Re: Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies

This may have been suggested before but I don't see it here.

Add a cargo pod to the Colony Ship design used to colonize your race's breathable planets. Then when you hit the "Colonize" button to send a ship off to a planet (whether you do it from the planets screen or main screen) extra pop will be loaded to give that colony a kick-start.

I use 3 colony ship designs:

CS-LR - long range (has a supply pod on it)
CS-SR - short range with cargo pod for breathable (green + planets)
CS-SR-nbr - short range, no cargo pod for non-breathable atmosphere planets (red + -- cheaper to build). I use these for storage planets so pop doesn't matter as much.
