True, but you get 600KT transports before you get 600KT battlecruisers. I know you don't have to use 600KT, but you can transport a high starting population to your new planet, plus a repair module in case it takes damage to the armor.

Unless you are trying to put enough armor on the ship to go safely through multiple damaging warp points, you only need the space provided by the light cruiser (400KT).

I am just gonna say that the medium transport hull costs less then the LC. So you win both ways. And you get a ton of starting population.

Exactly!
That starting pop. boost is also VERY important, that way you can build new colonizers at your new system AND have population to use them... else you'll have to go through the BH system with all the additional colonizers. Additonally, if you put both emergency resupply & repair on a Med Trans. colony ship... you can use it to scout across the galaxy looking for a new planet to colonize (really useful in ancient systems).
