Being able to issue orders and build cues while the game is paused is great. Not getting any kind of immediate feed-back is not. I'd love to see move orders visually displayed along with an audible response from the unit. When I cue up a research facility, dependent research items should be immediately unlocked instead of forcing me to unpause the game for a few seconds to get it to "take". I've also noticed that the empire tree does not update properly if you scroll it while the game is paused (off-screen items do not scroll into view until you unpause the game).

Just a few interface improvements that I would like to see.
