        • Planet textures are visibly distended at the poles
        • Ship paths should be visible as the right mouse button is held and dragged
        • Often times an auto pilot path will not display unless a ship is selected, despite enabling Show Auto Pilot Lines
        • Colony ships do not show how many people are aboard
        • The camera was panning right when a colonization message popped up; this put the camera outside the playable hex; any attempt to move back inside the playable hex results in the camera snapping back to the outside of it; reloading an auto-save didn't fix it; the game had to be exited completely to fix
        • Planet names are displayed above the UI
        • No indication as to why a Level 4 planet marked Habitable can't be settled

        • Ships
        • Starbases
    • Planet
      • Planet Surface
        • Active hexes are illogical based on terrain (e.g. ocean)
        • (0.0.2.0) The graphic for a finished improvement will sometimes show on a hex if it was selected on a previous visit to the planet screen, even though it is not in the Manufacturing Queue
        • (0.0.2.0) A selection icon is displayed at all times on a hex near the right edge
      • Planetary Statistics
        • If the Govern Planet overlay is left open upon leaving the planet screen, it will still be open on a subsequent visit
        • Hitting ESC with the Govern Planet overlay open should close that first, before closing the entire planet screen
      • Selected Tile
        • Terrain descriptions don't match hex position (e.g. Arid Land for ocean)
        • The Planetary Feature section can be clipped if extensive, and there is no ability to scroll down
