Default Re: Use of Ministers

Hehehehe. Too true Baron. I was trying to think of a way to answer that question. You hit the nail on the head there.

About the only ministers I have ever head of anyone using are the population transport minister, and the sattelite launching minister. Even those though have to be watched so much I am not sure it's worth the effort.

If you are looking to reduce the micromanagment and not have to check with all your planets every turn, about all you can do is give them lots of orders queued up. Planets can now be given launch an repeat orders, that's nice. Ship build queues can be given orders to send ships to a waypoint, that's a nice feature for a large empire. Transports can be given repeat orders for mining warp points, or moving pop about. Sentry orders can take your scout picket ships out of the ship list when nothing is happening.

But use the ministers themselves, not so much.
