Default Basic questions....

I've been playing the demo for a while and I've got some questions.

1) Now that I have the Ministers turned on for what I want, how to I get my ships to respond to JUST the resupply minister?

2) How can I upgrade existing ships, bases, and units to current designs?

3) I forgot what my third question was, can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

AtP

My Last post before I retire...

1. Go to Ministers in Empire Options
Look at Individual Ministers
Disable every one of them that you think it doesn't have to affect your ship
click on *Turn on Individual Ministers*
Click Yes.

1a. if you want a SPECIFIC ship;
Just repeat everything but turn on
go to the ship
click the *face* button on the button panel

2. Move your ships to the nearest spaceyard and click on planet, then click on the recycle button. Select everything you want to upgrade by clicking on the box besides the ship or base, and click Retrofit.

2a. If there are complications, build a ship with a space yard, move the space yard ship to the vessel or base, and repeat step 2.

2b. Units cannot be upgraded. Jettison them and build new ones.

3. Sorry. I don't read minds.

Here's a suggestion: What is the point of ministers? Why am I even using them? jp

2c. You can't retrofit a ship while it's in a fleet.
