I'm really liking the 1.7 beta features overall. Just a few quick issues to note.
1. It's been said before, but with the automatic constructor queues getting VERY lengthy in late game there really needs to be a 'move to top' option in the queue window. Ideally the window would also support multi-select so you could add several ships, select them all, and then move them to the top of the queue.
2. Hopefully there's a way to keep the game speed high when the constructor queues go crazy. I'm running on an unlocked Skylake i7 @3.8ghz, 16gb RAM and an overclocked 980ti and it gets chuggy on me at times.
3. I know the devs are aware of some of the random crashes to desktop (usually in late game), audio dropping out, and the strange bug where you get into a quick combat and the lasers flash and other weapons slooooooowly drift across the screen making the game unresponsive until they apparently traverse the map. Minor annoyances, but they do detract from the experience.
