Re: Colony Management
I've created "Storage Bases" (1 SY and the rest resource storage) and "Resource Colonies" (monoliths)...
I like to put a SY on every planet, no matter how insignificant, just because it provides a larger shipbuilding capacity and I don't have to worry when I go to the construction queues to multi-add a ship that I haven't turned off "planets (without shipyards)" in the build queues window and lose my selection  Why can't you select a group of SY's by clicking the first then shift-clicking the Last, and make control-clicking select one at a time?

Re: Colony Management
Whorehouse Colony: a planet with one big facility, a building with beds that give rest and relaxation to crew thus giving combat modifiers. Visiting ships must be careful on re-entry!

Re: Colony Management
I like to create a 'system capital' type colony, where the spaceport, training facilities and system-wide improvement facilities will be located.

Re: Colony Management
When I colonize planets I do several things:
Tiny worlds I classify as Storage Depots and place material storage facilities there.
I put a shipyard on any planet with 5 spaces or more, so I have plenty of production and repair areas available.
One planet in the system (preferably breathable) is the system capital, where I keep the Port and Resupply facilites as well as things that affect the entire system (shrines, training facilities, production enhancers, etc.).
If a planet has over 100% in a certain resource I have the planet churn out that resource exclusively. You'll need it at some point, you can convert it, or trade it. If more then one resource is over 100% I always go with minerals, or which ever is higher.
Anything else is research/intel.
