Notifications Fail - INVASION

Been playing for DAYYYYYS. This is good! Quite a few niggling points so I guess i should share the biggest:

1a - Some of the angles of the battle camera are just... incorrect, I am aware this issue has been raised before..

1b - The game seems heavily geared towards mass drivers. According to lore, the lasers are light based... so why do they travel slower than flying particles? Lasers seem extremely cumbersome and... just useless. Missiles seem to 1-hit everything. If your ship has no missile defense and you see even 1 missile heading for it, 9 times out of 10 it's destroyed... Sometimes, because missiles are so overpowered, you can make the difference between losing a battle and winning one just on selecting "auto-participation" simply because the maths will calculate the fleet with the better points to win, yet simulate it and missiles seem to completely swing the battles...

2 - No notifications!!! I'm never told that one of my systems is being invaded. When you have a big empire, this is more of a problem when you look at your far fringes and see that a system you ONCE owned no longer is yours. Perhaps a little notification that it's happening? I'm sure planets can still communicate through bombardments.

3 - Sometimes I've called a ceasefire with an empire only for them to invade my space and my ships are UNABLE to attack them back. This all takes place within my own empire, meaning the only way I can possibly get my fleets to fight back is to declare war... it's infuriating.

4 - I feel no connection to my empire, i just feel it's a bunch of planets changing colour, I just wish I got more immersion into what is actually happening at home. Perhaps a planet view on the home planets? All the artwork has images of throne rooms and governmental scenes but I don't feel any of that, I just feel like I'm controlling when battles take place at various places in the galaxy.

5 - Ok... for a species whose home planet is arid, why do Cravers experience negative happiness when they are in arid colonies? They even experience a negative happiness on their own home planet!

Hope this helps, Dev team. Really enjoying it so far!
