Colony Ship A new world is viewed on the Map Screen as a "Free Planet" and as such has no owner until a colony ship arrives from a player with a high enough Culture level to take control over the new planet. Colony Ships also have a secondary function - they can be used to transport PPs to a planet (in your empire) of your choice. You simply launch a Colony Ship to your target planet (or the free planet to be conquered) and when there are 2 Colony Ships present (minimum), each Colony Ship will be deconstructed and 15PP will become available per Colony Ship. The trigger for Colony ships to disband is at least 1 colony ship in the incoming fleet so if you have 1 colony ship on a planet and you send 1 destroyer and 1 colony ship to a planet then the colony ships will be disbanded but if there are 2 colony ships present on the planet (due to construction on that planet) and 1 destroyer is launched to the planet, the colony ships will not disband. Note: You can only have a maximum of 5 fleets in transit at any given time. Note:All free planets have 0 Population, and 0 buildings present hence when the colony ship arrives the population will be set to 1 by the Colony ship and therefore its original output will be +1pp/hour. Note:Colonizing a "free planet" costs 1 Colony Ship Note:When using Colony Ships to transport PPs to a Free Planet you intend to conquer you MUST send a minimum of 3 Colony Ships to the planet to get 30 PP. 1 is used in taking the planet and then a minimum of 2 more colony ships are needed to attain pp giving 15 pp. Therefore in the above example 30 pp would be deposited on the newly colonised planet) Note:You may send as many Colony Ships as you like but when they land on the planet they will immediately deconstruct in pairs (ie. if 1 colony ship arrives on a planet and another arrives later they will deconstruct on the second ships arrival) or the multiples that they were sent in (ie. if you send 3 to a planet under your control you will receive 45 pps there). Note:Colony Ships have a Combat Value of 0. But they take part in active combat. If they are sent with a fleet of combat ships they will experience battle damage and a few may be lost along with other ships. It is a commanders decision whether to send them with a main fleet or take another fleet launch spot and send the colony ships later Related: Culture, Energy,Biological Science Glossary Index back |
