It's also easy to give NPR human-designed ships but the AI does not know what to do with them. I don't know whether there is special code for the AI that doesn't get called if you just "magically" transfer a colony to them and thus it would always remain inactive and/or cause issues. I'm saying that it's possible since the AI does not play with the same tools as a human player.
