[Need Help] Transports

[Bluespan]

I've tried (Making scripts at times) to make the transports deploy population on minister control but they always get stuck on a planet with full population and then they say that the planet is full yet they don't even move to another planet.

I thought the new patch would fix this problem but if you guys can help me out that would be nice.

To use the ministers correctly you'll have to turn them on in two places. One on the transport and the second in the Empire options list under Ministers. Make sure that you check the option for transport and colonization. If it still hangs just move them manually for a turn and see what happens. I don't use them much myself, but if the game is far enough along the computer may have trouble trying to figure out what you need it to do.

A little OT but certainly related:

I used to, when I played solo AI games, occasionally run into an AI homeworld near the end of the game where the planet was full and there were 2 or 3 Large Transports brimming with population... and just orbiting.
Is this an AI bug that the game doesn't know to spread the population out to emptier planets?

Just always wondered.

The population transport minister will still get a little hung up on full planets however. This was not an easy bug to fix, and I don't recall it being listed in the fixed bugs list. You will have to manually move this ship to greener pastures, then let the minister take over again.
