Hey Craig, Sorry you are having issues with the iPhone version. I don't think I've see= the behavior of when sending to a planet the fleet not moving. With the "b= uild ships", I know it is hard to get just 1-2 when you have lots of money.= We will be making a change to add back in +/- (as well as keep the slider) For the evacuate the planet, we will make it larger so it is easier to hit. I haven't seen the change of the terraforming happen to any games that I've= played. If you can find out more how it is happening that would be great. I will also send you an invite to the Beta list if you are interested, and = we can have you test out some of the changes and then also hopefully track = down what the issue is with the terraforming and other dragging problems.
