Congratulations on making a fantastic game. I caught wind of this title only a week or so ago and it sounded like just the kind of game i had been waiting for. I bought it the moment it released and have not been disappointed. Thank you!

Now for a few wishes;
The ability to hold a key and see the destination of the currently targetted ship (plot a line from the ship to it's target?)
The ability to see at a glance if a ship is badly damaged/disabled from the ship list screen (maybe make the ship name red?).
The ability to retire a ship from the ship list screen.
The ability to queue missions via say, holding down the shift key. Currently, if i tell a constructor to go refuel for example, i have to wait for that to complete before sending it off on another mission.
The ability to queue nearest constructor for a repair mission when i right click on a damaged ship or at least the ability to select nearest constructor via a hotkey as is currently only possible with military ships.

And a couple of bugs;
My homeworld seems to create a lot of private ships that never move and the constructors (when left automated) seem to be a little over zealous on creating mining stations. After a while the economy starts to tank. My homeworld pretty consistently runs out of Caslon (which also results in newly built ships having no fuel)even with multiple tapped sources of it and freighters never replenish it. Is it possible that the freighters are not performing their assigned missions, causing the AI to build more mines to try and fill the resulting resource void?

If you point the mouse outside of the galaxy area and scroll zoom to cursor, the display goes white with a red cross through it. I can continue through the error and successfully save the game but it requires a restart to get the graphics back.

On the one game i've lost i got the "you have failed" screen (love the taunts from the surviving empires!) but behind it, the various UI elements were replaced with white boxes with crosses through them.

Again, thanks for a wonderful game and here's hoping lots of people buy it!
