During a brief test last night I noticed a few things. Not sure if some of these are bugs or supposed to work like this.
I had opened the colony view list and then had decided to start a new game. I select return to main menu and return to it but the colony list view is still visible. I would of thought it would auto close upon returning to main menu (was still able to manually close it without problems however).
The next thing may be less of an issue once the tech points for starting a customised race are reduced but I noticed that I could select some techs say the sensor ones to sensor 6. I could then go back and remove the older sensor level ones and get refunded the points while still keeping sensor 6. Not sure if thats intentional or not.
Had got option to build research labs on my planet. However the icon for it was blank and having built it my research did not go up on the planet after building it.
