Default Re: Colonize

Tezzezar and Atrocities have some good advice for you. I would add that if you're moving into a possible war zone with your colony ship:

1. Be careful how many colonists you load. Use the manual load command to control exactly how many millions of people you are willing to risk.

2. Send escorts with your ship! Pretty obvious, but easy to miss in the heat of battle.

3. Don't hit the automatic colonize button if your ship will be traveling across most of a system to get to the planet you want to colonize. It will plow ahead, no matter what, and may well end up in a combat situation. Control the movement manually, in short command steps.
