In the last couple of games I've had a few bugs annoy me. Version 0.62b.010

1. If you build a phase inhibitor in a system all ships not allied are instantly unable to phase shift.

2. If you start building a phase inhibitor in a system after the computer has jumped in it will try to leave the gravity well and no longer attack anything in the system (I've used this to hold large fleets at outer worlds to give my main attack fleet time to get there.)

3. When using embargo on a planet for some odd reason it always specifies that the embargo is being done by a ship that doesn't have it. This past game it kept specifying one of my Akkan class ships.

4. The planet still says it's under embargo after I destroy it and re-colonize it. It goes away after it times out but that doesn't seem right.

5. Some of capital ship abilities are annoying, the shied on the Kol battleships are nice but if left on auto it keeps turning on once it gets within attack range. It would be nice if it didn't kick on unless that ship was under attack.

6. When researching if you setup a queue that depends on the earlier items being researched and then cancel the earlier items none of the other research options will happen. Everything will be queued but nothing will be researched, at least until you cancel the second stage of what you were researching for me this was both stages of planetary shields followed by anything else.

7. Backup has arrived, this is very annoying when I hear backup has arrived and it's just trade ships or other non-combatants.

8. Cultural spread doesn't seem to shift properly. I build some centers on my border planets and while I did have influence lines spreading from that planet the planets behind it were still the enemies color. So halfway between one of the border planets and a core planet it was my color then grey then when it got to my core planet it was the enemies color towards another core planet. I've also had it happen where their cultural influence is spreading out from the sun yet none of their planets have lines to the sun.

9. Another stealing income bug is that at times it says I'm stealing 120% of the income.

10. Damage upgrades don't always change the damage on my ships. Armor upgrades work fine.

Not so much bugs as my thoughts.

1. Missile batteries have an auto returning to position then point at the sun, have them rotate instead or point away from the planet. The green line I see when pressing alt is a little annoying.

2. Have alternate zoom keys if they're aren't any. Nothing on the right side of my keyboard did anything with zoom.

3. If you have multiple ships selected instead of just showing one ships choices in the bottom right have it show just the special choices and the fighter options (No passives).

4. Have an option to disable fighter icons, Even on small maps I'll get anywhere from at least 6 to 24 squadrons, it's hard to target a specific ship unless I zoom all the way in.

5. When I alt-tab out to answer an IM or e-mail the sound continues playing and the game doesn't pause it would be nice if it auto-paused and suspended game sound (It generally only does if I'm zoomed in.)

6. The caps-lock button for quick zoom-in zoom-out. It would be nice if we could set the zoom levels and thresholds. Such that if press caps lock to zoom-in and then click the mouse back one notch then press caps lock again it zooms me out to the overhead view instead. But say if I click out 7 or 8 notches it will zoom be back in.

7. On mouse over icon changes would be nice red over enemy ship etc.
