The alpha looks great and runs fine on my machine. The debug.err file (since I know it contains all my system info for you to look through)

I only played for a little while, but wanted to say that I did encounter the font load error (followed instructions to get around it and it worked).

The game looks good and I did have "fun" with the stuff that was there... here are some suggestions

1) The anomaly tool-tip names... Could the names be a little more generic to the look of the object and not the title of the event (anomaly). I encountered the anomaly by the name Blasphemy - I now know the consequence of that anomaly, maybe switch the name to glowing crystal or some such to not reveal the consequence and leave something to the imagination.

2) UI - the shaded border edge when viewing the ships and ideological pyramid. I think that border should be "in front" of the object your viewing, providing a larger border on the screen.

3) UI - when viewing the ship in the view screen it can be easy to lose the ship, should there be a button to reset the view of the ship. Also, when rotating the view of the ship there is a very dark side and we lose all visual of the ship. Would it be better to rotate the ship instead of the view screen, so we keep the light source on the one side and rotate the ship object to see all positions.

My compliments to the GalCiv 3 Team. They did a wonderful job thus far. I'll have more feedback, when I'm not holding a baby.
