Anyone know how to get this one working? I have turned the Population Transport minister on in my empire options, and I turned the minister on in my particular ship (with cargo bays), and the ship sits there and does nothing turn after turn. What are the requrements to get this working?

Uner the Ship design do you have your Transport set/labeled under "Population transport?" If you bring it up to build does the category say Pop Transport or maybe Freighters or anything else. You may have a Cargo ship that can transport population, but if its not labeled as a Population transport in the ship classes the minister will NOT control it.

IE....the minister controls "Pop Trans" only.

-I have population transport turn on in empire options
-The ship has many cargo bays
-The ship has no current order
-The ship has movement point and supply
-The ship is of type "Pop. Transport" as per stock game.

Still no go. V1.33. Seriously, dudes. Seriously. Serious.

(Seriously)

In stock, I think you might need to have select "New Ships Use Minister" or something like that in addition...

But then wouldn't all ships I create use the minister?

Setting the 'AI controls new ships' option would work for any new builds. For existing ships you will have to click on the ship itself and turn on the AI for that ship to get it working. You will see a little 'face' status icon when the AI has control of the ship, just as you do with planets.

As I mentioned on my first post I did that.

I'm having the exact same problem too. Does anyone know if population ministers work in their games, maybe it's a bug that needs fixing?

I just figured it out. In the manual it says there should be a sub listing under the Empire Options/ Ministers Selection, call "Ministers being used" This option is not showing up in my game (patch 1.33 installed), but is where you would select exactly what minister(s) you want turned on.

Stupid bug, you're annoying me.
