Is there any way to survey a planet for conlonization so that i dont waste my Colony ship on a planet that i might not like after i land?

No. Field sizes are randomly generated based on the slot location within the system. It would be a major challenge to revise the database to allow such a feature.

Too bad thats the case..it would at least give it bit more realistic fuction to the game...

That's a good one.

If you do not like the planets size, you can always abandon it and try again.

If you are just starting out you shouldnt worry too much about your planets size. Just farm resources for a while from your other planets and when you think you need to move on, thats when you think about planets size.

I already have a colony ship..thats why im asking ) If i land on a planet, then its too late to take my ship somewhere else to colononize...

this game makes you gamble and all players have diffrent assets thus some have natural disadvantages while others have it the other way around.

I dunno.
Expeditions are risky (including colonizing), you don't know what you can get or loose. That's part of the game. I think that's one of the things you should keep in mind when laying out your strategies.
