Few suggestions from a new player

First, I love this game.  I find myself wanting to play this game a
lot more than the games on my PC, which is really saying something. 
Having never played the game on a Mac (I'm a PC person) I can see I
was really missing out on something the last decade or so.

Having said that, a few suggestions.

- Selecting fleets is a real pain when they are near or on top of the
name of a system.  It can take me 10 tries in some cases.

- Moving fleets in the above situation is impossible depending on the
zoom.  Instead of the fleet moving, you get the whole screen moving. 
The only workaround is to select the fleet (after trying 10x), zoom
out to max, give the fleet its orders, and then zoom back in.

- Fleet management does not have the best interface.  It's the worst
part of the interface, in fact.  The Group Fleets screen is NOT
intuitive - maybe this is a smaller version of the Mac screen that
everyone knows how to use?

--Documentation is poor.  The online documentation states "Spaceward
Ho! for the Macintosh comes with built-in help. To learn more about
Spaceward Ho!, download the Macintosh game."  This doesn't do me a lot
of good since I don't own a Mac.

- It would be useful to click on a ship and see more info than the
offence/defense rating.  I hate having to go into the Organize Fleets
screen to have to set Delayed Arrival or Battle Attitude, or even to
find out what its range is.

- Does the Mac version have the capability of multiple Armegeddons? 
Seems to be a bit too powerful.  Just playing around with this (it's
fun to blow up half the galaxy) took me up 6 ranks in about 10 minutes.

- There is a sporadic fatal exit when I try to leave the game to other
apps (I have a T3).
