Also note that if the colony ship runs out of supplies before reaching the target, it can't plant the colony when it arrives;

Since when? I recall purchasing an out-of-supply EEE colony ship for a captured Battleship as it approached a nice planet in my system.

Certainly under V1.49, and I planted perfectly fine.

It does take one extra turn, since you need 1 MP to land once you've arrived at the planet.

I distinctly remember a colony ship parking over an empty planet and doing nothing until I noticed the red barrel and sent it back for resupply, but I haven't let the situation occur again; I'll start up a test game and see if I can reproduce it.

Cap'n Q
My first mod! Hypermaze quadrant
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
