I have been playing Beta 3A and have had almost no difficulty except that now I have quite a few influence and economy star bases and when I try to and others it crashes with the black screen of death. This is a bug that should be addressed. I am near to an influence/tech victory and it's very frustrating to try to add additional bases with the game crashing!<img src="http://images.stardock.com/tgNET/smiles/Mad.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl

I find the Beta-2 stability pretty good. I've only had two crashes. The one problem I've noticed is that when I save a game and then re-open it, the "OWNERSHIP" icon on the mini map no longer works. The other problem I've encounterd is that COLONY ships and the FLAGSHIP suddenly stop moving. No matter what I do I can't get the ships to move. I encounter the "OUT OF RANGE" message, and they just sit there. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/smiles/Hmm.gif"
Zoomba, Thx for the auto explore tip. I was wondering why that function was not available. Using the "A" key will make game play alot more interesting.
Query: How do you know what is in the research Q? I have a difficult time understanding what is being researched and how long it will take. Also how do you achieve "TRADE" ? Is TRADE not available at this time?
Query: When are constructors going to be available? It's hard to evaluate the game when the colony ships are always out of range.
