1. Where is 3rd person view for spectating? There used to be one, but not anymore.
2. When you go place a RT, but it won't let you, it does not tell you why. It says its out of range. Out of range of what?
3. As alien com, you aren't told that a structure has been finished building, noir when an ability has been researched, but players are notified when an alien hive has been completed, but not the comm. I would like to be notified of these things so that I can keep track.
4. AS aliens, When a RT is being attacked, the alien voice says "structure under attack," instead of "Resource tower under attack." This was present in the previous build.
5. You aren't notified when there are upgrade traits available once your alien com has placed an upgrade structure.
6. Defensive structures, or structures that has a radius, does not show a preview range when you are placing it. The only way to see its range is when you place it.
7. Why are crists destroyed when you place another one near it within its range?

7. To prevent cyst spamming
IMO it would be better to exponentially increase the cost of cysts as their numbers in an area increase (1,2,4,8,16 etc). Them just dying when you place another cyst arbitrarily too near is very annoying. Especially since it can disconnect the cyst you just placed guaranteeing its death because dead cysts also block replacement. Pick one (preferably good) anti spam mechanic, not 2 (both of which are incredibly annoying).
Edit: 3 actually, the laughable hp cysts start with is nothing if not anti spam. Although this one I got nothing against.
3. Personally, I just know it is soon. You can check by clicking on the crag, shift, hive, etc to see how much time is left. This does not help you wanting to be notified though.
4. When a structure is under attack, you can press c and see what structure is under attack. It flashes red. Resource tower or not.
5. You can see what upgrade structure and how many there are, up to 3, in the top left hand corner of the screen.
6. You in fact can see them all the time as the khamm, you just have to click on the shift or crag. I was just playing last night and noticed this.
7. Cyst spamming as already mentioned.
You'd think UWE would recognize these self-defeating quirks. Its why I don't comm.
What annoys me instead is that the upgrade progress that is displayed at the bottom is reset to 0 when I leave and enter the Hive again.
This is the exact reason why I learned to comm.
2: "out of range" is kind of a text bug = there is already a building
3-6: Ok that could be done, but as comm you can see all built/ researched things in the left botton corner. As alien player press b sometimes to see what things are unlocked
7: Would cause bugs and performance issues
