Colonize

[Wardad]

Sometimes I do use emergency build to crank out a complete colony ship every turn. I have also built colony hulls and ship yard stations in one turn.

Just what I do depends on the race setup and it's construction bonuses. There can be some real balance issues for construction, maintenance, resource, combat and ecetera. The home planet type and universe type is also considered.

I generally do not include a cargo pod. Draining the homeworld population can reduce your population build bonus. DOH!!!, been there, done that. What a way to ruin a plan.
