Colony ships and sectors

[Haccoude]

When I task a spaceport inside a sector with building a colony ship, it is "owned by the sector". I thought maybe the sector would then use them, but they don't. They just hang around in the system they are built and do nothing, requiring you to remove a system from a sector before you build colony ships from its pops.

You can use it by using "Colonize" on the "Planet Summary". Then you can choose which colony ship should move to the desired planet.

@Leo Larsson : Please consider showing the Colony Ships built in sectors within the outliner. And please, add a normal "build alert" for them, too.

Just make them core empire owned instead of sector owned. No need for sectors to have a "fleet", even a civilian one

Thank you, that works.

Not only did I see this issue with colony ships, but, in checking for more colony ships (who knows where i built colony ships from? not me) I found that either I had -- or the AI had -- at some point built a construction ship. This is their ship but it's also my ship and the interface is confusing for these things.

yeah, it does not makes sense. I almost lost track of 3 colony ships owned by sector. It does not look like that sector can use them ... I suppose this is bug that player cannot track ships as other ships.

I'd also like to build colony ships on planets held by my vassals. If they can inhabit planets I normally couldn't, I want to be able to make use of those pops without having to integrate my vassal.
