Beta feedback: Zoom bug, maybe a rally point bug?

from Sins Forums

I am on my first game with the beta, and I have found the following:

 

After some time, my game suddenly snapped into a limited zoom view where I could only see the planet's gravity well. zooming out after a certain point would snap back to a close-up to the planet, no matter how many times I zoomed out. 

The snap-back is instantaneous. As a result, I lost the ability to look at my empire from far away, looking at several systes at once. Needless to say it's strategy crippling. 

Still haven't loaded back teh game to see if it's persistent across game loads.

I also think that there is something weird with the rally point command. I believe have seen some ships going to the wrong gravity wells, as if the 'set-rally-point to planet X' sometimes didn't register. Happened a few times. 

As I understand the ships register the 'rally-to' order when their production finishes and the ship spawns in the gravwell, and should go to the current rally-to target, regardless of how many times it changed during ship build right?

When you select one of your (capital) ships as a rally point, newly built ships often have problems with moving directly to the gravity well the selected rally ship is currently in. This was already an issue in Trinity though, but it would be nice if they fixed it.

Another thing: it would be nice to have ships move through a gravity well at their maximum speed when "Group Jump" is disabled. It's fine with me that they all move at the speed of the slowest ship when Group Jump is enabled, but not when I want my fleets to move through friendly terittory quickly.
