I'm really enjoying the improvements that have been done to the game in this version. I don't know if it was actually in a previous version or not but I just found in this version that I can have a colony ship selected, open the planet screen, click the unowned planets and then click on the highest PQ planet so that the screen will move to the said planet. Although it looks as if the ship has been deselected I can still right click on that planet and the ship will head that way without me having to click the Find button a time or two so I can get back to my colony ship. This is either a great find or a welcome addition. I also enjoy the ability to upgrade fleets and although I hate to say it, there is a but... There is still a lot of clicking involved in upgrading a fleet since you have to do them one at a time. I may not want to upgrade my entire navy at one time, but it would be nice if I could select all ships within a fleet (of same hull size that is) and then click the upgrade.
Anyway, just wanted to get those two things in before calling it a night. All in all I think 1.2 is good and I've not experienced many (if any) problems playing it.
