Since supply ships cost no maintenance...

from GalCiv3 Forums

You can just build them endlessly and store them up then crash ka BOOM instant colony of any size anywhere when you want it- ready made! There ain't nothing 20 of them cant build. Mid to later game of course... or... earlier if you give it some forethought.

 

I wonder if this was unintentional. And I doubt the AI has any clue... but one can hope.

You still can't build more than one improvement per turn, and with Xenophobic you can already achieve the same - without supply ships.

Also, if you make sure to place some star bases to get some nearby asteroid fields into your zone of influence, you can build asteroid mines before the colonization and then assign them to the new colony for a considerable boost to production. This works pretty well even without Xenophobic.
