I've never seen a civilian ship with a queue either unless I'm the one who gave the order which created the queue, but I obviously haven't been playing DW for very long, so it's hard to be sure about anything until I've got a few more games under my belt.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Shark7<br/> <br/> The passenger ships may not be retrofitting due to having a lot of missions queued as well.<br/> <br/> If you have a resettle policy, or if you have a lot of Resort Bases, the ships may have a long queue of 'Pick up people, deposit them here' miss...

<t> Personally, I have no problem with expecting the player to show a bit of restraint and not abuse the gameplay systems too much. Oftentimes, it's absolutely necessary in order to support mechanics that allow for a lot of player freedom; with that freedom comes the potential to exploit it.<br/> <b...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Hattori Hanzo<br/> <br/> the mining stations are owned by the private sector yes, but are built by the state through his building ships. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Yeah, but those construction ships were built entirely with resources harvested by private sector,...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Aeson<br/> <br/> Be aware that smuggling missions drain money from your private sector into pirate factions' coffers. Rich pirates are strong pirates, and strong pirates are a problem. Furthermore, there has been at least one incident where a player bankrupted thei...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Shogouki<br/> <br/> I believe you can stack more than one colony module and increase the number of colonists that they carry.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Retreat1970<br/> <br/> I don't think I have ever worried about passenger ships ever. That part of the game is out of my control so I never worry about it.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: USSAmerica<br/> <br/> If your initial Passenger Ship designs didn't have FLT drives, it's very possible that they were on their way to another star system with their migrants on board.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Bingeling<br/> <br/> My memory is hazy, but pay attention to the two upgrade and retrofit settings in the design and design list.
