Could stacking colony modules on a ship be applicable, e.g. so you could put two on on and carry 2 populace and create a two populace colony that will hopefully grow from an outpost to colony quicker. Though this could require more programing to insure you can build such a ship. Other approaches could be using 2 colony ships on one world or allowing colony ships to act as populace transports or create a populace transport ship or module.

Another thought is a run away card for combat or an evasive card which would give your ship(s) a chance to flee or survive combat at the expanse of dealing damage (if any).

Interesting. I like the idea of colonizing a planet with more than just 1 populace. What if you could send some population from one of your other planets onto a colony ship that you then send to colonize another world? Could that work?

Also, I really love the idea of being able to evade in a fight, specifically with colony or scout ships. It's like bam your in a fight, and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop them from raping your colony ship.

+1 to the idea of a "running away" option. Or at least the mentioned evasive card. It's a bit annoying not to be able to save ones scout or colony ships

There is retreating in battles, it's not in the alpha version yet.

Running away should always be in games like this. Glad to see its getting included later

I totally agree there should be transporters. This could be a normal ship which can be shot down. Perhaps the population also gets a bit unhappy for a while if they are transported to another star system.
