	Umm I need to colonize!! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Ok total newb, have read manual and messed around with th interface some.

How do I actually get to build colony ships that can like go to other systems? I can build ones that can colonize planets within my own system. I do teh research that has system ship in it but it doesn't add it to my buildable list?

What am I doing wrong?

Colony bases are available from the start, even in a prewarp game. They can create a colony within the same system.

You need two techs to build colony ships. Chemistry (50 RP) give fuel cells and Power (50RP) give nuclear engines.

In any game that is not a Prewarp start you will have these techs to start the game. In Prewar you must research them.

At that point the list in the build queue will have colony ships available to build.

Ok, sorry I took it for granted that you needed Power (80 RP) that yields Colony Ships. I should not have done that and only listed the prereqs.
