Just a collection of thoughts, bugs, glitches, weirdness or other things... no real order to it. I'll try to label each thing so you can skim for the important stuff.

BUG build times
(big) Others have likely reported this or mentioned it, or what have you... but I'll just re-iterate. The build times for projects/ships are not 100% accurate, sometimes you will stay on "1 week" for 2 or more turns. Most evident if you start a new game, flip your spending sliders to 100% social, 100% spending, build a factory... it claims 1 week, but it really takes 2.
(small) In addition to that, if you have 0% military production, the quick build list and starport UIs show a -1 for build time...whereas the colony management screen properly changes this to a "Never".

SUGGESTION quick build list
I believe Cari mentioned in the past that the quick build list would be getting a button to purchase a ship.... or maybe Im just remembering it the way I want to? Either way, could we please get such a button in the QBL?

GLITCH planet details UI
(polish) Whilst in your polish mode and cleaning up your text strings... the "word on the street" has some funky characters in it... I noticed it on the one that said "Taxes are at a pretty fair level right now. Alan Bradley seems to be a decient job keeping things balanced...let's hope it stays that way." The funky characters are at the beginning and the end of that snippet, and the misspelling is not my typo.

GLITCH planet details UI
(polish) more /n's in text... this time in the main planet description, center screen.

BUG planet details UI
Starbase bonuses are not being listed.

THOUGHT planet details UI
Is there a point to having "Demolish All Improvements" and "Destroy Colony"? I would think the only time youd want to do either would be if they held some nifty improvments, perhaps a 1per galaxy type... and you were unable to prevent an impending invasion.... given that; why have both buttons here?

THOUGHT main map, stars
(non-critical) Star colors on the map; in GC1 didnt they represent how suitable the planets were in that system? yellow = teh goods, etc? I see alot of yellow stars nowadays with several planets, but all class 0...

SUGGESTION game creation, starting locations
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but Im going to toss it in here because I dont have time to scroll through the forums too deeply (oi vey, search ftw!)... Anyway, [/excuses]

I would desperately like to be able to set the starting points of all the races involved in a game... not directly, but with a slider like "clustered, distant, king of the hill (clustered in the middle), cornered, etc"
I dont particularly enjoy starting a game on, say, a huge map or bigger and having everybody clustered together on 1/3 of the map...
