I'm playing as the Xeloxi.  This screenshot shows how much I can see without exploring that much.

The area seems to be expanding every few turns like it's influence.  I do have no FOW in my territory, but I don't have full visibility in those areas that I can see objects.  I certainly haven't explored them.

When I automate a survey ship, it doesn't go to an anomaly that is close but is in an area where I can see it, but the area isn't fully visible.  Instead, the survey ship goes to an anomaly that is far away but is actually visible because it is in an area that has been explored.

Is this normal for the Xeloxi?  I didn't see anything in the change log that mentioned this ability.

EDIT

After saving the game and loading the save, what is visible is now like it has been in the alpha.I haven't played any turns yet to see what happens.

EDIT 2

After two turns and building a starbase, the extra visibility returned.I need to do more testing.

EDIT 3

I loaded the save again and again didn't have the extra visibility.  This time I didn't build the starbase, but the visibility expanded to what it was earlier.

Also, that screenshot shows I've met a minor race.  I can't talk to them because I don't have universal translator and can't research it.  I guess this means I can't research it until I've met a major race.  I think meeting a minor race should also grant that ability.

Finally, that screenshot shows that the scarcity of resources doesn't exist in this game.  I don't remember my setting for resources, but it's the same I've been using.  I think this is a welcome change, but I may decide to decrease the amounts in my next game.

How can this commander ship launch a ranged missile attack when it only has kinetic?

In the new game I just started with version 0.6 I have noticed that the radius of the area of influence of my homeworld is increasing by 5 cells every turn.  As you can see from the below screen snapshot, I am only on turn 12 and the radius is already over 40.  Is this what you intended to happen or is this a bug?

I find myself having to kil my govenor almost every turn but al planets still have govenors.

What I'm seeing is that I get the popup for planets that are in the area my ships have explored, but don't for planets outside where my ships have explored, regardless of whether they are inside my influence or not.

I had 4 notifications queued up below my missions. Instead of looking at them, I used one of my surveying fleets to attack a pirate, and as the battle was resolved I saw all 4 of those notifications disappear. I support the effort to deal with the issue of too many windows popping up on the start of a turn, but putting them into the notifications area requires that you fix the unreliability of notifications that date back to GC3.

Edit: Just happened again. I had 4 or 5 notification appear at the beginning of a turn, but then the popup window to load a colonist onto a colony ship appeared and all of those new notifications disappeared before I could even deal with the colonist.

Killing the Govenor hasn't removed them from their planet in my game either. 

However this new feature is also broken in several other ways.  This popup appears way to often.  Maybe you need to backoff on the parameter that makes this popup occur.  The popup seems to repeat immediately after you make your decision, but I don't think one of them does anything (I checked the next time & they both added +1 Authority).

I always make the decision to kill because I don't like the alternative (need another choice - like maybe do nothing?) and this leads to Authority becoming so over powered I'll never get to use Liberty. 

V 0.6 Playing as the Xeloxi, the Pirates do indeed attack me.  

Text boxes for notifications aren't big enough, text is cut off the top and bottom.

When I finished researching Artificial Gravity, which allows small hulls to be used, the list of ships I could build included three Iridium_CommandShip types that ended in _01 or _02 or _03, but they weren’t real ships.  They are all empty hulls with incomplete names.

A save just before this happens is available here.

Load the save, look at the upper-left of the galaxy screen to see that Artificial Gravity needs only one week to finish, then look at a shipyard to see what ships can be built.  Go to the next turn, get the notification the research has been completed then choose something to research next.  Go to a shipyard and see all the new ships that can be built.  The three Iridium ships are the only ones that shouldn’t be there.

It is very nice to be able to downgrade core worlds!

Drag and drop a minister to unassigned should show a warning that this means to fire the minister.

Context menu for governours appears after clicking on the planet name but not if you click on the portrait. Click more than twice on the planet name is bugged.
