I heard that some people tried it but then some of the AI's were then putting colony components on attack ships then to get the extra supply. This should avoid that.
How much slower are you making them here? Aren't they having problems with black hole systems? Even with the extra supply, if it takes a year to get across a black hole system, you're going to be in trouble.

Look at the max engines, 4 and 8. So, speed 4. Just one slower than a transport, like in SE III. That's enough to escape a black hole if you are undamaged. You can work a solar sail into the Colony Ark anyway, and get real performance at the cost of further vulnerability. I've also modded the solar sail to increase 'to hit' probability since it's a big clumsy thing.
