Ok, I have tried out Beta 3 now, and if these arent already in the game I thought they would be worth mentioning.
Searching for a planet in the empire tree becomes harder as the number of planets on there grows (I can only shiver at the thought of the largest maps), so I suggest that you make it so that you see the planet names in aplhabetic order in.
Also(figure this has been done, but just in case), speed up missiles a bit since scouts seem to be able to outrun them, making them take the damage
(sometimes long before, depending on how long they fly away from the missiles) before the missiles actually hit them
(or they dont take any damage at all before or when they get hit, I havent really observed that closely).

Best regards, me .
