Great game. Some tips to make it even better IMHO.

I truly enjoy this game and the staff behind it. Nowhere else have I found such a group of developers that stay in touch and interact with us. You have my utmost thanks.
Now onto business...
Minor bugs
I've noticed a small bug when moving stacks of ships. I'll select all the ships in a stack (It has to be pretty big) and repeatedly right click on a destination. This will cycle through the ships and move them but only up to a certain number. After that I have to deselect the stack and then move them individually. I've also had it where I only have one fleet selected in the stack but when I right click the destination, it moves the other ships.
When a research project is finished, sometimes not all the unlocked items show up in the report. Sometimes it'll fail to tell me about a wonder, or a ship component, stuff like that. It shows up in the research screen but not in the report.
Suggestions
Windows & Map: In the ship & planet windows, I'd like if I could right click the sort options to bring down a list instead of scrolling through it.
It'd be really handy if you could sort some lists by what race they belong to. Even better would be sort them by enemy, ally, or neutral. Just so it's easier to tell at a glance what belongs to who without clicking on each one.
Handy if the starbase list would show if it's still upgradeable or full.
If the minimap could be cycled to show only items belonging to allies, neutral, or enemy.
Make it so I don't have to put my cursor over the scroll bar to use my mousewheel on certain lists like the news.
Be able to bookmark spots on the map and cycle through rally points.
News: During the news where it shows what was built during that turn, I'd find it very helpful if a tooltip could show you what ships are in orbit. That way I'd know if I needed to change my ship being built there.
Ship Management: Make it so that if I select all the ships in a stack, I can move them all at once. Also, a hotkey to select all the ships in stack would be helpful.
An auto-launch feature would be great. I like to play gigantic galaxies and making a rally for my planets can get a little tedious.
When sending ships to a rally point, it shows a map in the window but it seems like it's there for no reason. I'd be cool if it highlighted your location & the location of the rally point.
In the fleet manager, would be great if the ship icons showed health so I didn't have to click on each one to find out.
Rally Points: Make the rally point list sortable by ABC and by when it was created. Also, having the list remember it's last position would be nice.
Fleet Combat: The track target option would be way better if my ship didn't almost constantly block the view of the enemy ship.
And finally... what does Creative do?
Keep up the great work guys & gals.
