SE V questions

[Randallw]

I was just moving troops to a transport. I learnt that pressing shift allows 10 at a time like when choosing research, but also there is a counter at the bottom with a choice of 1 or more at a time and then all.

I might be wrong. I started the demo to check but got sidetracked with a simulation, which promptly froze. I can't be bothered checking again.

Is it possible in SEV to get racial technology like temporal, organic, crystalline etc by trading the technology or analyzing enemy ships, if you don't have the racial trait for it?

How do I get ministers to work in the demo?
Would like to hand over exploration and minelaying to the ministers after some time, but my minelayer only sat there doing nothing, despite having proper ship class, mines in several planets cargo, ship showing minister icon and "mines" minister active???

I have a sort of question. It's not to learn something just to wonder why ever it is the way it is.

There are 3 large icons for planets, fleets and ships. Why? They are huge and block out a lot. I have found that by having the emblem on black (black it seems being transparent) it floats above them and you can see on the other side. I changed the graphic so it just shows a smaller empire symbol and either a circle, triangle or small ship silohuete, for planet, fleet, ship. It just seems to make more sense. The good thing too is that you can customise it for each race.

Actually that re-sizing of flags has already been done by SJ, the link is around here somewhere. I'm fairly confident the smaller icons will be added in a patch.
