I wonder if small freighters could be used for effective freight chaff...
I don't remember how cost effective a SF is vs a colony ship during 2460-90.


Same ratio as at the beginning. They both have tech requirement "none", which means they miniaturise with your lowest field (ie bio, unless you're a TT CA). So nope. Cargo Pod Scouts/Frigates are cheaper for much of the game IIRC - even MFs are cheaper after Con 18.

Technically, a Small Freighter with Cargo Pod is the cheapest way for an IS to keep a 1% red overpopped (at least, early on). But we're talking literally a few resources here.
