OK have patiently waited for diplomacy and several of the new additions - liked what was expected BUT...

Had 1 crash loading game and another when in designer selecting Alterian freighter as base for new design.

Prior to upgrade was "playing" OK.

Also the multitude of popup/tips do not disappear from screen when the popup window loses focus - also they are staying as residuals on screen when moving to other panels and occasionally to main galaxy screen.

--------------------

That being said may I request some changes to screens and panels ??

Could the initial Planet Colonizing screen and Global events screens be made windowed panels in lieu of full screen??

Could the End turn beep be toggled on/off??

Thank you for limiting or redusing the zig-zag ship travel paths - would make the crews space sick if in real life.

When will fleet/space battles be included??
