ministers

I'll typically give the population minister 3 small transports for shuttling population around, it doesn't do too bad; leveling out all populations at about 1000 on breathable worlds. I'll keep one or two frigates or destroyers with 3-5 cargo to shuttle conquered races around or to collect extra population from moons and tiny worlds to boost the population on the larger medium worlds.

Actually most players consider Ministers to be akin to vacuum cleaners - they suck.

OTOH - the population transfer minister has kept his head so far in my empire. The rest are feeding the crows.

For me as a experinced player, i only use POP transport minister only, & only if i have 10+ worlds to populate. POP minister is ok. But Ive sent suggestions to MM to improve on this,to the effect of this being Moddable, and to increase pop reforced above the three bar limit, as a secondary on a planet.And other minister operations. Hopefully will see somthing in the new patch?.

i don't use ministers either. the only one i tried to use was (can't remember the name) the one to automatically launch satelites or fighters but that didn't seem to work. in trun based mode you haven't even got a repeat order so it's very cumbersome to manually launch sats

Minipol: Sounds like an "individual" minister.
You probably needed to give that planet to your minister with the ministers button (Face icon)

Whatever you do, you do not need a political minister. If you turned it on, you'll know.
