The point of having a colony ship may be to avoid confusion among new players. I can see a bunch of new players designing their ships and saying "WTF? Where's the colony ship? How am I supposed to colonize without any colony ships?". That's the only real reason I guess for them existing.
That said, I still use colony ships to colonize
