Population Migrations in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I have a question about using Colony Ships to move people from a higher populated planet to another planet with low population. Most of my games start with an explosive expansion during the early game. This often leaves my economy hurting due to having too many colonies with too few people.

I guess I thought that b/c there is a pop up for everything else in this game,

AutoColonize? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Is there a setting somewhere to prompt before colonizing a planet? It often happens that before reaching the destination, my colony ships hit a planet. What's worse is that sometimes I colonize a planet with a lower PQ than others near it. So, is this a bug or a setting.
