Does anyone use the governors for ship building etc...

What about using ministers to control your scouts early on in the game? I'm brand new to the game, but was thinking of doing that.

Well, in the early game, you will have a very small empire to deal with, so you can easily afford to spend time dealing with all of your ships.
Also, early game scouting is a critical mission, and every bit of efficiency helps.

I tried clicking on the minister icon for a couple of mining ships and they didnt do squat. Is there a general control that has to be turned on first to even get em running at all?

Yep. "individual" ministers only use the ships that you've turned on AI for. Under the crown button, there should be a ministers option.
Check off the ministers you wish to use, and they will start working on the ships you've given them.
