Your specialized ships?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm curious what sort of ships people here create for special tasks or needs. Not like a small fighter, but something geared more towards another task.

For instance - I like to create a massive sensor ship. It's task? It sits around wherever I place it, and it has the largest sensor radius I can find on it. I put maybe one engine on it, so it can move fast, but I generally load it up with only sensors. I like having these around certain areas, so i can keep an eye out. It's the only specialized ship I really use at the moment. Other than that, it's just your basic attackers, transports, and constructors.

You can actually land a Colonizer on a planet WITH a Colony and offload the colonists and then re-use the ship to go get more colonists. The Colony Ship only gets destroyed/used if it has to create a new colony.

And Troop Transports work the same way -- you lose a transport on an invasion but if you own a colony that you move a troop transport into orbit around; the troop transport will offload its troops onto the colony as colonists.

Learned this the hard way when i tried to park a fleet of troop transports into an orbit around a planet for safe keeping. The planet was almost at its max population already so I lost all them troops/colonists.
