For number 2, I always have my colony ship stop next to the planet, then let the IDLE SHIP take me to it. I can then double check the planet information as well as re-assess if I still want that colony ship to take the planet or perhaps move on to another one that is higher quality but more recently discovered. I would then allow one of my follow on colony ships to take the planet. 

But yes, it would be nice to see that information on the ideology choice screen.

Thanks all, trying to get used to auto-piloting my contructors and colony ships 1 hex away from the real destination, but I still slip up sometimes.

N.1: I do not see the issue with #1 honestly. I never needed to actually unselect a building. If you need to know what a ressource tile does just hover for a split second over it and the tooltip will tell you. If the tooltip is not instant enough for you use CTRL ^^

N.2: I agree, SD should make the ideology decision postponable at least until the end of the turn.  Depending on your playstyle this has a potential to be very annoying.

N.3 : The fix for this is that SD should implement ''Right clicking'' the notification icon.  So when you get an upgrade Starbase prompt, you could right-click the prompt and it would center on the said base, or idle planet. This would save you an extra second everytime. As is I need to click done to get out of the build screen, check where the base/planet is and then click on it again to build my stuff.

I will add a N.4 : In the planet view, make is so you can shuffle around your planets while the ''Govern planet'' panel is open. I never use Global spending. I manually set the production wheel for each planet. Sometimes I want to quickly review my production wheels but I cant do it because I need to open and close the panel everytime I need to switch planet. SO ANNOYING!!
