The ministers are a useless bunch, so you ought to do your own managment.
Waypoints are great, put one on every planet with fleet/ship Training, Stagingareas and important Rrefuelingstations. "Ctrl+1" sends the selected fleet/ship to Waypont 1.
Use the Hotkeys and the different Windows to reduce the actual click-work.
This is my personal way to repopulate my planets with alien population, there may be easier ways:
- Go to the Colony Window (F5)
- select "General" and sort by athmosphere
- select "Races"
This gives a great overview of your population and make planning the transfer easy.
I usually keep it sorted like this until most of my planets have the right population.
Then to move the population:
- Select the transport ship
- Hit T (transfer cargo)
- Transfer population (mouse)
- Close Window (Esc or enter)
- Reselect ship
- Hit M (Move)
- Hit F5 (Colony window)
- Select the right planet from the list (mouse)
Hope some of this is usefull
