6- When you discover that transports have only half maintenance cost and then send a troop transport loaded with fighters to raid an enemy system.

Is this true? Is it true for Colony ships? If is does not apply to Colony ships then you could exploit a “feature” and build your colony ships in Transports.

I usually put my colony ships in transport hulls for two reasons. 1) I usually like the transport picture better on the shipsets I like. and 2) If you change the name of your colony ship class often then it keeps your opponent guessing as to whether any particular ship is a colony ship or a mine laying transport... The colony ship and transport hulls cost identical amounts.
