Can I make colony ship using bigger ships?

[pathfinder]

B5 MOD has large colony ship hull, size is 600 Kt. I normally put 1-2 extra cargo holds so I can carry along troops, sats, weapon platforms...whatever so that the colony can survive an early atatck or start production earlier/faster...

One thing you have to be careful about when adding larger colony hulls is the AI. If the hull gets too big, the AI will use two colony modules on the ships.
IMO adding larger colony hulls to vehiclesize.txt only makes sense, if they have some built-in advantage. Something like extra supplies, built-in solar collectors, maintenance reduction, more engines allowed or (insert neat ability here). Otherwise it would make no differnce in just using a LC, CR or MT hull.

I like useing Transports for my Colony Ships. Lots of possibilities. Population, Troops, Police, Weapons Platforms and Satellites.
