The "Proportion population model" is only a basic
DATA setting for mass equals 1000; Hence, there will be a proprtional build up of population for all players to include the AI and from this starting point we can MOD other Modifiers - via Trait, Facility etc.
As Alneyan expressed that there is a setting for AIC that will allow basic Auto pop Transports for you if you wish to avoid excessive logistician transport.
AIC optional OS* start setting will allow for a more Robust game - but perhaps a little less strategic type game.
If you alter the MASS=1000 you will corrupt the AIC Mod, this is why we programmed the OS* starting option to lessen se4 redundant Transport management

The latest version should be 4.1, I believe; I haven't heard of any major upgrade since 4.1 at any rate.
You cannot really remove the Proportions population model, though I guess you could make population meaningless and make it so the AI no longer builds starliners. However, there is an option that allows you to build a facility increasing population by one million every turn in a given system. This makes starliners less important, and you can actually do without starliners altogether.
