1) In the timeline screen, one of the 11 items is called MANUFACTURING. In the main screen display when you click on an empty tile and are shown 6 of the timeline items, one is named INDUSTRY. Maybe you should use the same name in both places? (This exists in GalCiv2 also).

2) In the Speak-To screen, what happened to the viewscreen item that showed your relative Diplomatic strength? I miss that. Let's say there are 3 races that all have a tech I want - I will generally get the best deal from the race for which I have the best Diplomacy ratio. In the DA Beta I now look at the TimeLine Diplomacy item before speaking with anyone to save myself some clicking. It would be nice if the Diplomacy ratio appeared somewhere on the Speak-To screen when it comes up, saving my having to do any more clicking. That way I could get a feeling of where I stand before negotiations even begin with a given race.

3) In the Speak-To screen I will often offer a sum of money for a race's tech I want by dialing the $ amount until the offer goes from red to green. Then to sweeten the pot I will throw in a tech of mine. But when I go to adjust the $ amount, I HATE IT that the amount always drops back to 100. I wish it would stay at its last setting and allow me to adjust it from that previous value instead of from 100. (This exists in GalCiv2 also). Isn't anyone else bothered by this?
