Suggestion: Ability to disband colony ships prior to launch

from Stardock Forums
The subject says it all pretty much. Right now its either impossible to disband a colony ship without launching it first. I understand pretty much all ships are like this, but colony ships (And I suspect transports as well), take up people, and I dont want to have to lose those people if all I want to do is disband the ship. This is a problem in systems where I have 3+ planets on the same star and I have alot of other ships garrisoned there.

OhOh I know this.

For colony ships you don't need, just select one near a star system and click a habited planet in the system and it will add the people to the system and go away.
You don't get any feed back other than increased pop, it just happens. Don't click on a planet that's empty or you WILL colonize it. If the ship is in orbit just launch it with 1 person and disband or click a habited planet in the system with it selected.

For transports when in orbit select one that is empty or empty it then go to the little Starship info thing on the bottom right of the main screen icon row and click disband. For more than one it is best to do this at the end of your movement or the UI will change focus to the next ship somewhere else.
