Disappearing Colony Ships |
Maybe this has been reported already... but when i send a stack of colony ships to colonize the same planet they all disappear. I get the colony, but it only has the population of one colony ship and all the other colony ships are gone.
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
I have had the same problem when I accidentally sent two colonizers to the same planet and they end up arriving at the same time. I get an event from both colonizer that I have a new colony.
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
It would be better to create a population transport. Then send additional population after the colony is established. It could be reused to move populations/troops/fighters etc. from your home planet to the colonies.
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
In earlier versions, if you colonized with a colonizer in a fleet you'd lose all the ships in the fleet too. Fortunately that was corrected, but it doesn't look like there's a check to see if there is more than one colony ship and if there is, to only consume one. 
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
i send stacks cause i'm lazy. i build a plethora of colony ships and then send a whole stack into a system. then once they reach the first planet i spread them out. any left over ones move on to the next system. imagine my surprise when the whole stack dissappeared.
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
Stacks are more vulnerable.
Re: Disappearing Colony Ships
Not to argue that this isn't a bug, but why are you sending more than one colony ship to a single planet? It seems like a waste of a limited resource to me.
