I think this is related to the following bug report:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ho5palm/message/587

I have noticed that the ship specs are not properly intialized when
entering the build screen and changing between ship types.  Several
ways to exploit/reproduce this:

Set ship type to scout and select max.  Change type to colony (notice
that the range appears to be as expected).  Build one.  Notice that
the range is equivalent to a scout (max +3).  This will allow you to
build a range 9 colony ship on turn one.  Note that total cost does
appear to calculate based on actual specs (ie with extra range).

Similarly, (though not sure if this is a bug or just poor interface)
select an old ship type, then change type to satellite.  The satellite
(at least on screen) will be locked at the older ship's speed.  I
haven't tested this further (and am in the middle of a game I don't
want to screw up.)

Thanks for the great game, and (hopefully) the support.
Mark
