    Just finished my first game and noticed a couple weird things I'd thought I'd post.

    1. Referencing placement.png, it seems that right now you can place buildings on hills and such, but if you do so you end up with some weird structure positioning. In this case it's an airbase at a 45 degree angle.

    2. There is some weirdness with the map (sun_base.png) if you scroll all the way out. It seems to place markers in the wrong places at the moment, in this case a star instead of the planet just off to the bottom left that's unpictured.

    3. The patrol command doesn't seem to be working for me. After selecting it from the right panel and clicking someone on the map my units just seem to make a standard move. Am I missing something or is this expected at the moment?

    4. Camera rotation ~_~ Is there current a key to rotate the camera? If not it would be a very nice to have. Scrolling around the planet seems to sort of twist the camera which can be disorienting if you're trying to remember landmarks based off relative location to your base.

    5. A minimap you could plop up in your corner that you can set to a particular level of the map and lock it to a position. Ex. open it up at the planet level and anchor it to where your base is, so you can see if there is anything raiding your base while your off directing your armies on the other side of the planet or elsewhere. This could also be a useful way to add visual notifications of attack by having it pulse or what have you.

    I think that's about it for now. I'm definitely liking the direction of the game so far and hopefully after a little more play I'll be able to make some more informed bug reports.

    All of these have been noted since day 1, and are in the bug tracker as well in the Alpha forum.

    I think it would be appreciated if you started posting in there, to keep everything organized.
