cannot colonize

from GalCiv2 Forums
When i select a colonizer ship and right click on a free planet nothing happens, the ship is close to the planet of course. How can i colonize a planet?

Does the ship still have move points left?

Is the planet above class 0 (class 0 worlds cannot be colonized)?

Did you upgrade the colony ship design (by default all functional components are removed when you upgrade, but the starting colony ship has extra modules as eye candy so it may look like it has colony modules, but it really doesnt)?

All the planets are signed as class 0, but when enemy colony ships arrived they colonize it! example mars(0) become mars(4)!

Mars is always class 4.

I can confirm that Mars is definately a class 4 planet. I have never seen it in a game to be anything else, nor have i seen any posts from people sugesting it was anything else.

Don't worry about colonising Mars anyway, the AI will colonise it for you. Meaning that Mars is about the stupidest planet the AI can colonise when in most cases it will defect to your civilisation.

Leaving other low class planets free for the AI to colonise is also a good strategy if they are in the midst of your good planets. Free colonies for you!

Very good advice indeed.
