Multiplayer Issues

Good Morning,

Here is what I'm noticing from the first multiplayer game I've played since release....  Feel free to add more if other people see same or similar issues.

The Lobby...

Bug - The game will not always see people entering/leaving lobby.

Bug - The chat box will black out and not able to see any text from that point forward until one restarts the multiplayer game.

Suggestion - Have a main lobby chat to help organize a game.

Suggestion - Be able to see the main lobby yet in case someone else starts a new game and you wish to join that instead of starting a game on your own..

Starting the Game...

Suggestion - When custom factions are part of the game it takes a long time to load custom faction data.  To make players aware the game is still working and hasn't locked up, maybe add a status bar to let the player know the game is still working.

Playing the Game...

Suggestion - Adding the ability to chat in the trade window, between human players, so that way both of you are able to get on the same page easier.

Suggestion - Turn Timer.

Bug - In game chat colors bleed to next/previous lines.

Suggestion - Allow one to continue playing after other player left if they choose to do so.  Let them know that the other player left (Peer to Peer error) but, then let them continue.
