====General information about colonies:====
====General information about colonies:====
* If you buy a Colony in the TE3000 HUD, then this will enable disasters.  If you don't buy a colony, then the HUD will be like the regular Full Version HUD, and you won't see any disasters. However, unlike the Fed HUD, the default handling of a disaster is not as destructive to your colonists.  It will default to the cheapest (not free) option, and you will lose a small percentage of colonists. Another major difference from the Fed HUD, is that the zero cost option, will actually generate income for you, at a cost of 2% of your total colonists. While, the cost in colonists may seem high, there are also random events that allow colonists to join you, which have the potential to more than offset your losses if you choose this option.
* Colonies are critical to your ability to generate revenue, especially at higher ranks. 
* Once you buy a Colony, this will enable disasters, similar to the Fed HUD in regular TE. However, unlike the Fed HUD, the default handling of a disaster is not as destructive to your colonists.  It will default to the cheapest (not free) option, and you will only lose a few colonists. Another major difference from the Fed HUD, is that the zero cost option, will actually generate income for you, at a cost of 2% of your total colonists. While the cost in colonists may seem high, there are also random events which allow colonists to join you (normally 1%, but occasionally as much as 5%), which have the potential to more than offset your losses if you choose this option.
* Each colony improves your income by 100 credits/ship to a maximum of 300 credits/ship.  
* Each colony improves your income by 100 credits/ship to a maximum of 300 credits/ship.  
* You can have a maximum of three (3) colonies. When you buy more (fourth, fifth, sixth,..etc.) colonies, it replaces the colony with the least citizen capacity.
* You can have a maximum of three (3) colonies. When you buy more (fourth, fifth, sixth,..etc.) colonies, you can choose which of your colonies is replaced by the new one. This only happens when you have at least three (3) colonies.
* A recent option is that you can choose yourself which of your colonies is replaced by a new one. This only happens when you have at least three (3) colonies.


====Minimum requirements for a colony:====
====Minimum requirements for a colony:====
* Rank at least: Trader (50 ships total)
* Rank at least: Trader (50 ships total)
* Amount of total ships required are not confirmed exactly. Estimates are:
* All Level 1 colonies are available at 50 ships
** 1st colony: (around) 50 ships total
* You get an offer to buy your first three colonies about once a day (24 hours); when you don't buy it will come back after about 3 hours
** 2nd colony: (around) 70 ships total
** 3rd colony: (around) 90 ships total
* You get an offer to buy your first three colonies about once a day (24 hours); when you don't buy it will come back after about 1 hour
* For your first 3 colonies, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 50% of the new colony's capacity.
* For your first 3 colonies, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 50% of the new colony's capacity.
* Once you have 3 colonies, you will have opportunities to upgrade them.
* Once you have 3 colonies, you will have opportunities to upgrade them.
** These upgrade offers will show up every 5 days. ''[Actual elapsed time needs confirmation.]''
** Upgrade offers will be offered when you reach the minimum ships for that level.
** You will be asked which colony you wish to replace.  (Defaults to the smallest colony.)
** You will be asked which colony you wish to replace.  (Defaults to the smallest colony.)If your colonies are all of the same size, and you miss the 'which colony would you like to replace?' message, it defaults to colony number 1.
** When you upgrade, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 20% of the new colony's capacity.  
** When you upgrade, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 20% of the new colony's capacity.  
** '''Warning''': If your total ships have declined, you may have colony offers that are smaller than the ones you already have.
** '''Warning''': If your total ships have declined, you may have colony offers that are smaller than the ones you already have.
* The max colonist % is 150%, after that, you will lose excess colonists
* The max colonist % is 150%. After that, you will lose excess colonists. This may be raised, in three steps (165%, 180%,and 200%), through the [[Information#Red Tape|Bureaucrat]].


Prices of colonies range from around 480K credits to over 2B credits (and still rising!), depending on rank, total ships, citizen capacity, kind of colony and maybe more variables. More research is necessary.
====Advice on colonies====
It's a personal choice on what to buy. But here are some "general rules" that can be helpful.
* Terrestrial colonies provide 5% more credits per colonist at census time.  The bonuses are cumulative, so 3 terrestrial colonies will yield a 15% bonus.
* A man-made colony (Orbital spacedock, Colony starship, etc.) lowers the cost of disaster handling and research.
* '''NOTE''' Disasters begin as soon as you have your first colony. You should choose one type of disaster to research and stick to it. The two other types can be used to grow the colonist total by taking the most expensive option short of researching each time.
* Mining colonies randomly yield bonus credit payments, as well as quantities of enectrium after achieving the rank of Captain. (Enectrium is required for building the flagship for the [[Director's Quest]].) Mining colonies also reduce the cost of the Mysterious Vessel.

'''Advice on colonies'''
*'''Note:''' The min/max ships in the table above are estimates if they are recorded in ''italics'' and followed by a "?".
 
Considering the above, it's a personal choice what to buy. But there are some "general rules" that can be helpful.
* When you handle one of the disasters, a man-made colony (Orbital spacedock, Colony starship, etc.) lowers the cost of handling the disaster, including the cost of research.
* When you need (some) extra income, the mining-type colonies gives some extra credits from time to time, and the asteroids/moons/planets (non-mining type) produce a greater output per colonist at census-time, yielding a greater overall payout for the census.

General information about colonies:

  • Colonies are critical to your ability to generate revenue, especially at higher ranks.
  • Once you buy a Colony, this will enable disasters, similar to the Fed HUD in regular TE. However, unlike the Fed HUD, the default handling of a disaster is not as destructive to your colonists. It will default to the cheapest (not free) option, and you will only lose a few colonists. Another major difference from the Fed HUD, is that the zero cost option, will actually generate income for you, at a cost of 2% of your total colonists. While the cost in colonists may seem high, there are also random events which allow colonists to join you (normally 1%, but occasionally as much as 5%), which have the potential to more than offset your losses if you choose this option.
  • Each colony improves your income by 100 credits/ship to a maximum of 300 credits/ship.
  • You can have a maximum of three (3) colonies. When you buy more (fourth, fifth, sixth,..etc.) colonies, you can choose which of your colonies is replaced by the new one. This only happens when you have at least three (3) colonies.

Minimum requirements for a colony:

  • Rank at least: Trader (50 ships total)
  • All Level 1 colonies are available at 50 ships
  • You get an offer to buy your first three colonies about once a day (24 hours); when you don't buy it will come back after about 3 hours
  • For your first 3 colonies, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 50% of the new colony's capacity.
  • Once you have 3 colonies, you will have opportunities to upgrade them.
    • Upgrade offers will be offered when you reach the minimum ships for that level.
    • You will be asked which colony you wish to replace. (Defaults to the smallest colony.)If your colonies are all of the same size, and you miss the 'which colony would you like to replace?' message, it defaults to colony number 1.
    • When you upgrade, you will receive a colonist boost equal to 20% of the new colony's capacity.
    • Warning: If your total ships have declined, you may have colony offers that are smaller than the ones you already have.
