A few basic questions and issues

I listed below a few problems I am currently having with the beta 4 version along with a few questions.
1. I use a Realtek HD audio on my computer with all the latest drivers and am not getting a peep of sound. I have tried adjusting and resetting the in game values with no luck what so ever. Can anyone confirm if the Realtek HD audio is supported yet?
2. The only real problem I have with the user interface is when trying to click a point on the minimap that is close to the TURN button. If you are near the edge of the minimap close to that button, it highlights indicating if you mouse click the turn advances. I did that inadvertently a few times. It would be better (IMO) if the minimap was on the leftside of the screen rather than right.
3. I noticed that if a game is saved and an earlier game turn is loaded, that many of the star systems and resources show up thru the fog of war.
4. I noticed that when an alien is asking for a trade on the tradescreen, he states it backwards, wanting to trade for the research that he already has for one that I don't have. At first I thought it was some sort of Yoda speak..but I realized it wasn't:)
5. Where are the starbase modules? I can't seem to figure out how to make them or put them on an existing starbase. I am pretty sure I had all the correct techs. I think the easist way to do it would have been an "Add module" tab to the starbase details screen.
6. I noticed in the 3d mode (F3), the starmap scrolls very slowly fore and aft compared to left and right. Top view mode (F4) scrolling is constant in all directions.
7. Will there be a game editor in the release version?
I would like to add a general comment on the AI. I believe you guys are doing a pretty darn good job. I am not new to these type games and have to admit the AI surprised me on several occasions even playing in the simpleton mode. I would build a ship with a certain weapon and after a couple victorious battles the AI returned with modified ships with the appropriate armor or shielding to counter my weapons and have the weapons that countered my shielding. If I changed he would adapt. Reminds me of the Borg off Star Trek. Plus the AI new when to seek peace and when it was advantageous to attack and is pretty relentless in doing so making attacks in multiple places at once. Nicely done!!
