Sigh, well there is one BIG problem, IIRC. Even if all ships in the fleet (and the fleet itself) that I want to control have the ministers off -- if the resupply minister is on -- he still starts taking control of ship movement when the fleet is at the half supply level.

And the standard AI is a little too dedicated to drone research. But hey, that's what the government wants, who am I to argue?

I think I'd use the TDM AI which, if the Ministers follow the AI, should end up with a more sensible Research path. But still, I'll follow the government's orders even, I guess, when they tell me to pull my fleet back for refueling.
