So, I made a new mistake =P I got a few colonists and tried to find a free earth-like planet. To my dismay all of them were taken (as far as I could tell from traveling around for 3 days). If I want to colonize another planet I will need a bio-dome. That means I need 32 plexiglass. With the colonists in one cargo slot that leaves me 3x8 = 24 slots. In other words I need to get rid of the colonists if I hope to build a biodome. My thought was; "ok, fine, I'll just dump the colonists somewhere". This proved to be difficult (or impossible?).

This is what I've tried:

1. Sell colonists at a station.
2. Jettison colonists into space.
3. Unload colonists on uninhabitable planet.
4. Unload colonists on Earth.

None of this has worked and I am now stuck with colonists blocking a slot. (It seems I'm becoming that guy that does weird things, almost as if I'm looking for bugs).

I had the same case- i wrote a mail to support and Admin removes my colonists manuelly. It is a Bug.

Thanks =) I've sent an e-mail. Hope I get it resolved.

haha, same thing happened to me.

Thanks for the emailtip, just fired off an email too :D

just for the record, this was fixed some patches ago; thanks for the report!
