Odd behavior when a fleet colonizes

[Will]

I remember getting "This ship cannot colonize" messages a long long time ago when colonly ships were in fleets. More recently, I have never had occasion to put colonizers into fleets, since I didn't send them into systems where it was necessary to protect it from the warp to the destination planet.

I'll put that scenario in my test game and see what happens.

Hey, does everyone else keep old savegames lying around to test stuff too?

In the game in question, I've been MEE for over five years; most of the worlds worth colonizing are in or beyond disputed systems. Many of the colony fleets are going to worlds where the AI glassed colonies that I hadn't defended heavily enough the first time.

Not me. After I finish a game, I delete all the related files for that game from the Savegame folder, to reduce clutter.

I usually don't enjoy games that I've set up solely as test cases, so I don't do it often.
