I can see that you was doing different Colony Ships too!

But I can see a little problem with your solution: the AI will be unable to colonize until research the DS hull.
I did a test with one starting planet, and it was a problem for the Klingon. Also, the AI built several "Colony" ships with FG size, with only engines.

Honestly, still I like more what Atraikius did with the Orks, or myself with the Aquilaeian.

MB,
Thanks for that. In my play tests, I thought that I had eradicated that problem. Will take another look.

PS: What did you do with your Aquilaeian race?

GE, do you enjoy making AI? (If so, I have some projects for ya.

)

I kept the old colony ship design, because the AI can use the standard colony ship in the beginning of the game. But also, have included a new colony ship design, based on the Light Cruiser hull.
The idea was to create a more fast colony ship, with extended fuel range, self-destruction device, an small weapon to kill ships without weapons, and cloak capabilities (when the technology is available of course). Also, I wanted to keep the colony ship with an small size, because if not, a biggest ship _ in my view _ could take a long time to be constructed, and _ in my view again _ could be very expensive.
After research the LC, the AI stop to use the standard colony ship, and start to use the new colony ship design.

MB,
To get it to work, did you set Colony Ships as size 0-300kT and Light Cruiser Colony Ships as 400+ ?

Atrocities,
Do you have a specific race idea in mind? I could be interested!

Regards,
GE

God Emporer - that what I had done, except I allow them to use up to BC hulls.

GE

As you said, I did the standard Colony ships with size 10-300Kt. But about the new colony ship, the size is only LC: 400-400 Kt.
