Thanks for your thoughts. I've always gone with option 1 and 2 with a little of 3 on the side. How do I activate the population minister?

Oh, what is more important, colonizing a planet with the correct race, or jumpt starting a planet with the max population of whatever is nearby? I've always send my colonizers( really just medium and large size transports) empty and then use my spare colonizers to transfer out or in the correct air breathers.
