dumb colony ship

from Stardock Forums
I just loaded a colony ship with settlers and did a dumb thing. I accidently recolonize my planet. ship destroyed. Colony ships should not be destroyed if they just move population between populated planets. Colony ships should be destroyed when settlers colonize a new planet.

A mechanism to move people between planets in the same star system, with the need for a colony ship, was discussed a while back. I seem to remember a comment from Brad that it would be on "the list" as a post 1.0 addition.

In the OS/2 version you could move people between planets/systems with transports (you could do it with colony ships also, but you lost the colony ship). I have to admit I haven't tried it with this version, does it not work?

It works exactly as described, with one caviat that makes transports unfeasible: when you use a transport to move colonists, they get distributed evenly between planets, which is usually going to result in several very low morale planets until people die off.
