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.

That was fixed in Version 1.42:

11. Fixed - Sometimes when a colonizer would colonize a planet, not all of the population in its cargo would be dropped to the planet.

With 1.49, I've had colonisers with 450M population lose 350M when they unloaded ... y'see, the coloniser is GONE, and if the world can only HAVE 100M ... then the other 350M are, essentially, SPACED.

... I can just see it now:

Debarkation officer: "Sorry Mr and Mrs Jones, but there's just no room down ther for you, yoru son Billy, or your daughter Judy, so ... it's out the airlock with you all!"

Mr Jones: "No! No!! AAAAaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii-" *dies of vacuum-induced asphyxiation*

Mrs Jones: "No! Wait!! AAAAaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii-" *dies of vacuum-induced asphyxiation*

Little Billy Jones: "Please! Not me, too!! AAAAaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii-" *dies of vacuum-induced asphyxiation*

Baby Judy Jones: *sucks stupidly on pacifier, then, dies of vacuum-induced asphyxiation*

Debarkation Officer: "NEXT!"
