Is it generally considered worth it to make small "flagpost" colonies to stake a claim on good planets before your homeworld has enough pop available to send a real colonizing fleet? I was thinking that on the plus side, it establishes borders quickly, possibly avoiding a territory war, but it also just screams to be pop-dropped and spends resources building colony ships that could have been spent building up homeworld infrastructure.
