Okay played the beta and here are my impression/bugs i found
1) the one thing that i noticed from the start is the ships speeds...
now i for on am all for it to slow em down but making a cruiser go from 25 to 8gu?
2) the mining beams seem to be broken.
3) Railguns fire FAST...... i like it 
4) and this is the weirdest one... when i managed to get a SY working i used it and when i came back there were 2 Axi's in the game.... i could see MY ship on the starmap and the ship itself in space *so i saw 2 ships*
I couldnt target the one in space and when i targeted the one on the map both player icons started to blink as in selected.
Now this i tried 4 times and everytime another Axi was "born"
When i changed to a cruiser the Axi's dissappeared and all that was left was my green Axi *me* and 1 Yellow Axi
Also i noticed that my ship icon the one I was flying was getting brighter each time i used it.
sounds fishy 
still i like the changes so far would love to see a bigger map like Eps Eri for testing so all sides have plenty of metals.
keep it up F and Dev

Yea can use tractor and mining beams while cloaked however since neither pretty much does nothing I dont see a problem with it

Oh definatly, any idle things like building or supplying or mining should be allowed to do when cloaked.

Extractor/mining beams are definitely broken. Tried my itty bitty ICC Extractor/mining ship and they didn't do squat. Tried them on both ICC held and neutral planets.

they're still in rotation, just cap out. just ask if someone's in the middle of something or has plans for however much time is left on the clock first. /me looks pointedly at Thiresias--- fool didnt i say not to cap raf?!?

Ships (SHOULD) be losing about 5gu/s each, roughly from what i've heard.
Dreads 15
Cruisers 20
Destroyers 23 (they can go 28? I havnt played in years in one)
Scout 27
Those where the figures last time I asked what they where going to be.
