If you just want to trasport population from one planet to another move the cargo ship into orbit around the planet that you want to load the population from and there is an cargo button in the tool bar looks like a box with an arrow going up you can click on that and it will take you though a series of menu's on what kind of cargo to load - but I find it easier to click on the button that I think is to the left of that one which is a cargo inventory (not certain) button when you click on that a new screen will come up which shows your ship how much cargo space it has and what cargo is on the planet that you can trasfer between the two.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jim, but I'm still not getting it.

First off, maybe my transport ship is not designed properly? Because, I'm only getting order buttons of: MoveTo, WarpTo, Attack, Fleet Transfer, Resupply and Repair; when I move the transport into the planet that has the people I want to load. There is no Cargo button lighting up. The transport ship has 8 Cargo Bay I components (and the engines, bridge, life support and crew quarters required). Is there a different cargo bay needed for transporting people?

TIA
