You have to be careful with colony ships that are too large. If you have too much population, some gets lost in the colonization process. IIRC, the maximum population of the planet's size for a domed colony is all you can drop, even on a breathable planet.

Too true. Soif the world is domed, send only 100M population -- pack in some police troops or the like if you want.

Or just build a smaller coloniser for those worlds. Heh.
