Is it a good idea to let the advise droids manage any aspect of your game? Is C3P0 better or worse at managing some things than his Imperial counterpart?

Manage production is huge; allows you to continue to play the game while in the background your C-Yards are pumping out mines and refineries.

Granted if there's a system you want to build, say 3 or 4 shipyards; turn it off and build it up

Just remember you get 50 maintenance points for every mine and refinery pair

Thanks.
