Contrary to some new players false belief, one do not need to rely exclusively on the '''colony''' hull for colonization. What qualify a hull as colonization worthy is not the hull itself but the presence of a [[colonization module]] on the hull in question. A colonization module can be mounted on any mechanical or general purpose slot which can be found on almost all hull types.

Note that the designation of a ship as a colonizer is triggered by the presence of a [[Colonization Module]] or [[Orbital Construction Module]], not by the Colony Ship hull itself. Races other than [[Alternate Reality]] can designate any hull with mechanical slots as a colonizer by adding a Colonization Module. However, the Alternate Reality Orbital Construction Module will only fit on a Colony Ship hull.

'''It is very important to note''' that a recently found bug allow one to copy a colony ship design, remove the [[colonization module]] and still retain colonization ability. Even though this bug can be abused on any hull, removing the module from a '''colony''' hull from the start of the game and onward is a huge saving in long term resources and minerals without the sacrifice of a more "useful" ship in return. The use of this bug on a '''colony''' hull is known to get other players suspicious on sight and can lead to immediate game ban. '''You have been warned.'''

Note that use of a Colony Ship hull with an empty mechanical slot is ''strongly'' disrecommended, as this will cause other players to suspect you of [[Known Bugs#Colonisation Module Check|cheating]].

The Colony Ship hull is a cheap and efficient colonization freighter available from the start of the game for all PRT. While a lot of players prefer to rely on other hulls for their colonizing needs because of the high germanium cost, the colony hull remain the first choice for the very early stage of the game.

Note that the designation of a ship as a colonizer is triggered by the presence of a Colonization Module or Orbital Construction Module, not by the Colony Ship hull itself. Races other than Alternate Reality can designate any hull with mechanical slots as a colonizer by adding a Colonization Module. However, the Alternate Reality Orbital Construction Module will only fit on a Colony Ship hull.

Note that use of a Colony Ship hull with an empty mechanical slot is strongly disrecommended, as this will cause other players to suspect you of cheating.
