Re: Interesting thing I learned about waypoints...
Geo thanks,
That explains something. In a recent game vs AI my #3 waypoint (on the western edge of my empire) bcame obsolete. I had already created one further west of there, (#5). So I reassigned the #3 Waypoint to a location on toward the South Eastern edge of my empire....
Guess what..
Thanks for clearing up the mystery.

Re: Interesting thing I learned about waypoints...
As for the launching of satelites:
The first time a sat is built at a planet I
Click on the planet
Tell it to launch the Satelites
Tell it to Repeat Order
Even if there are no sats to launch it will keep the order active.

Re: Interesting thing I learned about waypoints...
How do set a space yard to send ships automatically to a waypoint without using a minister?

In the build queue screen for that particular planet or ship space yard click on teh "Set Move to" buttom on the right side. That will bring up a list of way points to assign. You can only chose one way point for each yard. All the ships will go to that way point. If you don't have any waypoints you have to go assign some before you can set the move to for the yard. That is done from the Empire status creen (The crown button) and then hit the Waypoints button ont he right hand side.
