Proposal: Add capacity to the Colony Ship of up to 50 farm spaces
Have you Checked the DNS and PSI lists in the Archives? Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested? Checked a couple of pages, nothing similar
Reason: Colony ships are not only expensive, they cost 170 fs which is a lot when you consider that the ship has no fighting capabilities nor capacity. Whilst adding fighting capabilities WOULD be unrealistic, adding a small capacity would not. The chances are a colony ship would have had a small escort on board. It would just help out smaller players who haven't had the time nor resources to build many transports.
Details: Simple idea - add up to 50 fs in capacity to the colony ship.
Visual Aids: None needed
Balance: The actual number of farm spaces needs to be decided. 50 is probably far too much, when a slow transport only has 26 without bunks. Maybe it could be added as a research? This would balance it out nicely.
Abuse Prevention: None really, probably covered it in balance
Summary: Add <=50 farm spaces in capacity to the colony ship as a research

I wasn't too sure, I thought it might be a bit overpowered. I like the idea of adding those troops to the new city, that would make sense. Gives you the choice of what you want to go for first - be defensive and add DLUs or go for the farming villages first and give the city a few horses?
