You are correct for Galaxy. However, Blind Galaxy does things a little
differently

In blind galaxy
  manual unload
  automatic unload
  production
  reproduction

This has a fairly major effect on the game reguarding routes. In Galaxy,
there is no real advantage to routes except to automate a little shipping.
Routes in Galaxy will not affect population growth or industry. However,
in Blind Galaxy, routes do have a noticable effect. They can effectively
give you an extra turn of production when starting a colony.
