Was only in a particular game where FM, fuel pods and fuel transports were banned.
In this case a colony ship with just an engine was the best early booster I could build.

As such ifI had known about the bug and if I was a cheater I could
1) Built a load of ships that could exploit the bug AND that I could justify having (in a normal game simply having these ships would be an indication you were cheating)
2) Use them to colonise any world in a 1 year jump (only very careful host checking would spot this - other players would have no chance)
3) Send them out to "boost" genuine colony ships, but actually colonise with the cheat ships - leaving the genuine ship to move on and colonise another (bit more risky this one, if the host is checking every turn they might notice, also a player with scans and ships at worlds I was colonising might notice if they were really paying attention)

So I stand by my statement - in a normal game this cheat is easy to spot, you have weird ships with an empty slot.
In a game where fuel pods are banned it is hard to spot
