Default Ministers and Organic Weapons

I have a problem with my Ship Design Minister. I get a bunch a ships designed, when the minister is turned on, but they are only made with conventional weapons. I have tech level 5 in Organic weapons, but my ships are still being designed with a level II Depleted Uranium Cannon! So is there a way to get my ship design minster to use Organic weapons?

I can't really answer your question, but I'm curious why you'd WANT to use a ship design minister?

Designing their fleet is one of the most fun parts of the game for most people! And since you know what your needs are better than the AI, you'll probably do a better job designing your ships than the ship design minister would, even if you can get it to use your latest techs. Just my 2 cents...

I agree, espeacially since you only to design your ships once, then you can simply save them, and load them next time.

Huh?

What do you mean you can save your designs and then load them again. I can not figure out how to do that.

I had the wonderful experience of finding out how ship designs are saved
Save your empire file and when you load it, there they are.

Please don't get me wrong, I love to design the ships. Maybe what I am looking for is an Upgrade minister. I usually design several ships at once, but only build a few. I wanted someone (aka the Ship Minister) to keep my prototype ships outfitted with the latest armor, propulsion, sensors, etc. I find that I tend to forget to upgrade on s regular basis.
