Just a couple of things that I noticed right off. When I build a custom race my ships are not lighted so all I see is black silhouettes. They are very difficult to spot on the stellar map and, of course, all the cool effects are totally missing.
In the spaceport screen I see whatever ship I am looking at currently but I do not see what ship my spaceport is building. It would be helpful if there were some area that always showed the current build order. In fact, a build queue would be very useful as I do not always want to build the same ship again.
In Beta 1 when ever anything was built a drop down icon indicated when the item was completed. These were somewhat annoying since, when the game had progressed, you could end up with a lot of them popping up almost every turn. I see that they have been removed from this beta. However, once I've built a starport on a planet I'd like to see that so I can issue build orders for it. Would it be possible to either make those show up at all times or to allow a user selectable option to have them show up? I'd like to be able to select if I want to automatically go to my build queues when either I've built a new starport or one of my starports has completed it's current build. However, since I may want a specific planet to keep building my mega-destroyer, I would like to select that that one planet keep building over and over until I select otherwise.
Thanks,
