The files are good, I verified them in working the crashing issues.

The ghost fleet bases does appear to be getting freighters. They are short some resources, but the storage goals are set. The discovered and repaired base says no resource shortage. It also has all resources set to 0. No freighters appear to travel there, even though it is in my home system.

No shortage in private funds or in overall building resources. (main star base functions fine.)

There is a issue where ocasionaly the Private Economy just stops building Civil ships (of a certan type), untill it has enough to build a lot of them a at once.
If you think you have such a case, consider making a bug report about it.

Yes, I have 1 resort and 2 small colonies. In last games Ai usually built 3 passenger ships at once but now it hasn't enough cash for 3 of them. And i can't force it to save some money for 3 passenger ships.
Dead end.

I'm in early game and found the Defence fleets with mostly 3 Escorts or the latest fleets with 3 Frigates to be weak. I need to stack them in combat to avoid or minimize ship losses - so I'd like them to be bigger.

After some gifts and treaties the adviser recommends colonization because they "love me". I can click on agree to the adviser suggestion, or I can go into colonization tab - it will show that the chance of colonization is 100%. But then, when the colonizer actually arrives, long time has passed and the chance is usually zero or quite small. So, I am making a large gift when the ship approaches the planet. Do I need to do this? Is this when the chance to colonize actually applied?

You can make a long research que, however, or automate it. Even with automation, you can make long research ques such that the AI only selects a technology if the que completes.
