Question about colony ships

[Dewbacca]

First of all, I want to thank TC for the development of the Heavy Colony ship. Outstanding addition to the game I look forward to often and miss in mods that do not have it.

My question/ idea comes from a high population minor race (Risa, 655) that I was using to pump out HC's to populate pre-teraformed systems.

It occurred to me, for realism at least... there should be some population drop when a colony ship is created. Is that possible with the current understanding of the code?

Hi Dewbacca,

This has been even requested by myself, but tapping into the build code is problematic. it would require adding a new resource (population) like dilthium.

So the answer is no. this is why I made build time longer on heavy colony ship to simulate population growth.
