Destroying Colony Ships...

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just a brief question. Say you put 100M colonists aboard a colony ship and then you find no open planets and decide to destroy your colony ship to save money. Do you lose the 100M aboard the ship? Or are they put back to where they boarded from?

Well, if you destroy your colony ship and if it is in space, I think you have killed the hibernating colonist. If the colony ship is oribting a planet, I don't know what happen.

When a colony ship is destroyed in open space (no planets) then all of the inhabitants die. Sucks to be them.

However when a colony ship orbits one of your planets then they are all transfered into the general populace untill such time as you descide to send them on a one way ticket to hell..Err sorry, I ment class 4 planet.

Lol...so you can destroy colony ships while in orbit? How?

People, the ultimate expendable resource for any empire, simply turn into puffs of hydrogen when you destroy a colony ship. As long as the ship remains in orbit, you can't destroy it, so the juicy meatbags are safe.

Tip:

Slaughtering your own civilians was one of the keys to keeping them happy in GalCiv 1 ... and seems to also be around in GalCiv 2.

Keys to galactic harmony:

1. Take a planet where everyone is whining about overpopulation and starvation.
2. Load a third of them into a colony ship.
3. Launch ship into space.
4. Detonate.
5. Put little umbrella into your martini and bask in the love.

At least, it worked for me last time I tried it.
