Hey there jaduca, welcome to the forums!
The problems that you have mentioned are known issues - and are relatively easy to fix...ecept the editor isn't working so we can't. We've been hoping that Mike would tear himself away from programming for a few minutes to fix the editor but not had any luck yet. As soon as the editor is fixed, I will be fixing the problems myself, as well as several other problems with the game. Keep an eye out in the Supremacy pre-release download thread for any updates.
