3D: Interface nits and issues...

Just little stuff.

On the planet list, Morale is misspelled Moral.

On the ship list, it no longer shows you what a ship is doing. This was useful info, especially in a constructor building spree, where it's easy to leave one behind in orbit and not realize it for a while.

I got a message saying that the corporate sponsors of trade route 0 had disbanded it because of the dangers of war. 0?

I can't easily tell the difference between the orange minor civilization color and the Drengin's red color on the minimap. This has messed with me on more than one occasion. Anyone else?

After the game is over, on the "Summary" screen, everyone's total is the same. On the "Economy" screen, everyone's lowest tax rate is 0%. Also, those screens show information for extinct races as if they were alive at the end, including population and military totals.

It's difficult to figure out one's relations with minor races -- if you're at war with one, where is that shown? The only clue you've got an alliance with one is a "break alliance" button. (Then again, if alliances aren't supposed to be spontaneous/automatic like they are now, this might not be a big deal.)

Someone destroyed the route that another race had developed to one of your planets.

Yes, I understand -- but that message is less than useful. Even if the route is one of my routes, it should probably say what planets it was between.
