I see that the pop minister is still not functional though. Will it ever get fixed? Does it is not a basic feature, which is also needed by the AI?

It's not that it's not functional, but how it operates. If there isn't a planet with the lots of desired cargo nearby, a formula condition in the script isn't met and the ship won't do anything. It's relatively easy to fix, perhaps MM just needs a reminder.

Re: pop minister

That can't be the whole story. A pop transport sitting on a full homeworld still won't do anything. That seems like it would meet the condition of having a planet with lots of the desired cargo nearby.

Perhaps the ship hasn't been tagged with the correct Ship Type or something like that?

If you can figure out how to make the pop transport minister to work, please post it.

Right, I'll try it out. Are we talking Balance Mod here though, or just stock?

I'm using BM, but I don't think this issue makes a difference. I think it is hard coded broken.

Edit: just to be clear that it is independent of any given race, it should work with a newly generated empire.

It's not a hard-code issue - it's just the script needs tweaking. I finally did this for the upcoming v1.10 of the Balance Mod and it works just fine. Fallen Haven's IRM mod also had it working ok as well.
