1 - planets do get happier with ships. not much, but they do. what really helps is having troops on the ground. also, the temporal vacation service usually stops riots fast. so does the citizen-whatever-complex, the military police/1984 sounding thing. i usually build some unarmed troops on a planet as soon as its captured just to keep it in line. the medical facility does not do much for morale.

2 - sorry, nope. some of the web pages were working on one once.

3 - colinization minister and resupply are not TERRIBLE, planet ministers depend on what you want them to do. if you just want them to max out facilities, they are not the worst if you set the right planet type. if you want them to aid your war production or do anything serious, forget it.
