Has anyone thought about creating ships specifically built for colonisation?
When i say a "Colony ship", i mean a ship that's generally a one-time-use ship, lands on a planet's surface and has everything needed to start a fully functioning city/port
The ship could be broken down once it lands or just unloads everything and takes off again.
Heck, you could even have it form into a station in orbit then launch smaller transports to the surface.
Has anyone got any ideas in mind? if so, spill 'em out!
