Well, this is a switch! People used to moan about the AI not being aggressive!
A good thing to do once you've made contact with some race is to build WPs on your home planet (or a staging planet) before you even send the colonizer. Then send a small fleet to colonize the new planet. 1 colonizer, 1 transport with WPs and extra population filling any remaining cargo space, and at least 1 armed escort (role, not class
) to protect them. After colonization, drop the WPs and extra population. Send the transport home. Optionally, let the ship(s) which escorted the colonizing fleet remain with the colony for a while, depending on how badly you need it/them and depending on how dangerous the trip home is for the transport.
