Okay, so I've started a brand new game and there sits my colony ship; but just how many colonists are on board? The only way to find out is to orbit my homeworld and indeed there seems to be 2.50b (in spite of the fact that it looks as if it should be able to carry 5.00b).
But my question is: how do I see how many colonists are on any given ship? I prefer to start my colonies with 1.00b and then move more later, but once I get several out there at one time I know I'm going to lose track of which had how many.
I'm also curious as to how you put 2.50 billion on one ship? Can you imagine just how big that ship would be? I know, I know: it's just a game (and I've been down this road before), but so was Outpost and you were hard pressed to put more that 200 (not b nor m or even k - just 200) on your one ship that was going to save the human race.
