I've spent probably 7 hours playing already and a few things have stuck out as being annoying or frustrating.
Lack of before-hand knowledge of whether a planet will or won't have resources.
What does adding a point in the empire creation to a ability actually do? what is "speed" - manufacture, propulsion, or something else?
Sometimes turns go by with my realizing that i had done some action that signified i apparently was done with my turn (i realize documentation isn't out, but what makes auto turn go?)
A really useful feature i think, would be a more comprehensive multiple-race comparision screen under foreign policy. Perhaps something similar to the Stats screen from MOO.
Also, a rating of your own military and economy under the terms strong/weak/etc would be nice for comparisions for those whose brains don't operate in histograms.
Having a right-click help/popup feature would be absolutely amazing in helping figure out just what a little number or attribute actually does, not just what you think it does.
Hopefully that was coherent and makes sense to everyone else too.

. A little glitch i just found that actual ended up crashing the game is that the Advanced Trade tech kept coming up as complete at the start of a turn, then it would remain in the tech queue with the correct number of months remaining, subtracting one each turn. But each turn it would insist it was done. Then with five turns left it crashed. I have the save file
