Re: Population Growth for a colony
Depends on a lot of factors, but it's typically an exponential growth curve. You might get a factor of ten increase in fifty years, a hundred years is more likely, and of course it's possible that the colony will remain static, shrink, or die out entirely. So, after three hundred years, I would expect 3-6 factor of 10 increases, or a population between 1 million and 1 billion.
