Okay, GOT IT!
Now, having looked at the save: Using that Dead ship to colonize Gion will save only two turns, and will cost us a turn or two at Celtsi, so I'm going to use a standard base on Gion after all. I think I'll actually be running three colship designs for about four turns though: We can build LR Colships, and I want one for Whynil ASAP. I did mention claiming new worlds was my ~top priority, right?
Yeah, I guessed Phyco was an inferno strictly based on the graphics on the combat screen (and I could be wrong; I just can't think of anything else that candy-striped planet could be). It's not a bad size for an inferno, but small enough to make a nice zoo as long as it's not rich or anything. As for Cryslon ... I mean, I was planning to send something down for a fly-by, but there's nothing they could really have short of "inexplicably only a dozen bases" or maybe "less population than Phyco" that would convince me to attack it with our current technology.

Also I reread Ref's report and i guess that of their second colony is Inferno then it has to be Cryslon, which actually works out perfectly as the rocks can then be caged in a singe little world and left to lithify without much danger.
