I've played a few games now and wanted to send some feedback collected while playing.

Please bring back the full Empire Tree.  I know we all used it improperly in the last game, but it was so darn convenient, just please freeze the selected object from jumping around when the Empire Tree reorganizes itself.

The new moving orbiting phase-lanes are really cool, thank you for adding them and for the ability to disable this.

I have never seen a missile get shot down, although the text seems to say this should be happening.
(There was a small update and I have now noticed incoming missiles getting shot down by both Garda-class and Kol-class)

The Flak burst ship component seems weak, it brings strikecraft to approx 66% health from one shot. (Battlestars chuckle)

After winning an Auction for Pirate Raid, it is counter-intuitive to press ESC to exit the Minor Faction Menu in order to assign a target for the Raid, same with Expert Miners

The First Pirate Raid was huge, I think it was all the ships from the Pirate grav well, but subsequent raids were weak (I notice they have levels, I'm at Pirate Raid level 4 now).

I do not like the visual design of the Heavy Cruiser, the Kodiak was better and needs an ability

I hope for more planet types

The Infocard for Capital Ships does not include their Class-name (Kol Class)

Please cause holding ALT to display circles with different colors for weapon range, repair range etc

I wish for a Shield upgrade similar to the Salvaged Plating armor component upgrade via Auction

I wish for more non-researchable Capital Ship Components via Auction

The Akkan Trade Port ability is not-great, I'd prefer the targeting array or another option for a fleet support Capital Ship, unless that's going to be the Dunov.

I believe that sometimes, perhaps due to a recent phase-lane shift, my ships no longer use the shortest path to their destination.

I have discovered that you can remover a Planet Surface Facility by dragging it out of its box; I'd like to see this changed to a scrap or destroy mechanism and certainly keep the ability to change it or swap it out for something else.

It is easy to build a Garrison Surface Component, but not have a ship factory to activate it, please make this either known or impossible.

I have assigned two Heavy Guass Slugs to Capital Ship Component slots and did not get double bonus.  Please make this either impossible or grant the double bonus.

When i click on objects with both mouse buttons the game throws an error pop-up window which I can skip.

Sometimes, the phase lanes flash on/off for minutes at a time.

You know the Titan is referenced but not available.

I miss StarBases  (BaseStars?)

I miss, and lament the loss of, the ability to increase the difficulty of the AI in a previously saved game.  You Save, then exit to main menu, then load up your save and make the AI harder. You could do this in SoaSE1.

I very much enjoy the Capital Ship Component named Combat Repair System, thank you.

Please cause mouse-3 to center on selected object.

Please reinstate the mass-selection things for ships: double click selects all ships of that type, holding shift and Alt should do the same things they did in Sins 1.

The new behavior of the Hoshinko Robotics Cruiser is very good, they don't go get themselves killed early

The new strikecraft selection process is very good, thank you.

I have nothing to spend Quarnium on, I suspect this is for Titans.
