You have to enable minister control for the ship itself. Otherwise, the AI ministers will not give it any orders. There is a button on the main screen for this.
There is also a setting in the Empire Options screen that will cause all newly created ships and newly colonized planets to have minister control enabled by default.
sorry if I was not clear, I have already done this,
I have both set yes or ticked the box next to steller manipulations on the empire options and on the ships that can create planets, I enabled minister, but whenever i end turn and it goes to the next one, it just sits there.
