Crashes and other things

I have been playing the Beta for 2-3 days, ~6 games, and have had some interesting experiences with bugs etc...
The most serious has been a crash to desktop issue. Seems that there is a Freighter 'ghost' next to my main planet. The orginial Freighter object was destroyed here leaving a 'ghost' - looks like a grey mask of the Freighter. Everytime the game focuses on this object, either mouseover event, ship or monster tries to shot it or move into same grid location, game crashes back to Windows.
About half way through my last game one race declares a common enermy and declaration of war on said enermy, but there is no race picture or other race ID in the diaglogue box - thus I don't know who is comming to my aid. :notsure:
Another race initiates a Diplomatic exchange but the races text is "String not found", thus what they actually want is anyones guess. :notsure:
Another situation has a race proposing Peace, I think, but the Diplimatic screen has been partly covered by a Research complete screen. The research complete screen can not be closed as the close button is not displayed. The only option for the Diplomatic screen is to 'Reject' and hope for the best. :notsure:
Online documentation is a pain in the butt, as I often want to consult the documentation during a game. So I've made a PDF of the online manual.
The graphics and animations are quite cool. The special effects sounds are also cool.
The escaped monsters were very effective at keeping the Dark Lords at bay, even though I couldn't do much with ships because of them. Still, I won that game.
Great game, not withstanding the issues above.
