I hope this means that te mines/satellites minister will work! In the "Autolaunch satellites?" thread (Oct.6) Tarm (And Baron Munchausen before) asked for an "Automatic unit launch" order for the planets and bases that are building that units. Aub suggested the use of the mines/satellites minister, but he does'nt work in my computer

(Tested & verified. The mines and sats remain in the surface/cargo bays)

"6. Fixed - Improved the AI's ability to decide whether to attack or

I hope that this fix the problem when the AI want to send a fleet through a warpoint, but there exist a damaged enemy ship.

So.... will the patch be out this week, or did something crop up during beta testing?

This is very strange. Can this be machine-dependent? I doubt it

I use this all the time: turn the sat. minister on, put a planet under minister control, produce satellites. This turn they are in cargo, next turn they are in space

Now if only the resuply minister worked consistently!

You may have forgotten to turn the individual minister on for that planet (Y key)

Since MM keeps making fixes and changes to the game I would assume no patch this week. Every fix should be tested you know

. I'd give it at least one week (or two) in beta testing since the latest Version.
