System Wide Launch or Auto-Launch ???

Or maybe the satellite minister doesn't check the "percent total satellites to keep in planetary storage" value? (i.e., maybe the unit build minister checks that value...)

Well in the couple of games I have been using the sat minister I had no sats in cargo anywhere on any planet.

I did try some tests the other day and got all confused. I had planets that would launch all their sats, and planets that wouldn't launch any sats. And it wasn't the total percentage thing because I scrapped/jetisoined all the sats every where and then tried it just on the planets that were refusing to launch and they still would not launch their sats while on minister control. I could order them to and they would just fine, but the minister couldn't for some reason. And the planetary minister was on for those planets.

So something else is going on here that I can't figure out. I kind of gave up. I might have another look at it another time though.
