Default Re: universal colonization race advantage

I think this mod would give someone way too big an advantage, if I could colonize everything with a single ship I would just send ships in every direction looking for the best worlds, alien ruins, my atmosphere, high mining, especially if I combined it with being an "ancient race" so I knew exactly where to go. I'd blow up so big, so quickly, no other player would have a chance.

It might not be to bad if you do as raynor suggests, make it so expensive that it is the only improvement you can choose and you must reduce other areas to get the necessary points.
The other alternative is to make it researchable at an extremely high cost.
It is great to have in the middle/end game when you have all the colonizing techs anyway. It makes life a little easier for something you have already.

Make it researchable, but, only after researching all three (two actually) colonization techs & resource manipulation 4. This would make it available only to those who could already colonize all three planet types, and, would happen later in the game due to the amount of research required. You'd also have to ensure that it'd NEVER be found in ruins.
