Inf don't cost pop, why should they give you pop?

Ive found a bug with the extractor beam, I got 1 metal and 1 heavy metal in cargo reapearing each time i unloaded them on a planet.
The Icon for producing infs on the F2 screen is over a planet icon ( bad location for icons, i presume ... )

I have a question about beta, its something that has really annoyed me each time I play...is there a way to talk to everyone on the server? and also whats the difference between fleet and faction? I jsut basicly need to know how the chat system now works.
EDIT: found a bug, in the f3 screen the button for building a new inf (under the units area) is located on top of the button to switch to another planet, this means that that button actually switches you to whatever planet is under it

In Cygnus, whenever a teammate comes through an intrasystem jumpgate, they turn "red" for enemy...

- planet which is actually bombarded very often NOT reports it is under attack ...
- very hard to keep usable defence bases ammount at UGTO/Kluth side against swarm of bomber cruiser/destroyers, especially planets with shipyards (Chem lasers have no chance to stop that ammount of bombs coming) ...

- looks like approx 50 mines is capable lag out low end machines (no idea why) ...
- another bug with mines, other players dont see timeout expire exploding mines WHEN THEY JUST entered game thru shipyard, all they see are shield hit effects and damage ...

Hrm was just testing, and bombs seemed to do no damage to anything on a planet, and didn't create explosion animations when they hit. They simply disappeared.
Also, did not explode when shot by ship point defense, and did no damage in that case either.

Had a strange occurance trying to unload cargo tonight. I entered my jumpgate with 2 inf. I switched to a shipyard spawnpoint. Came back out with same ship (engy) with 2 inf. I mined some metal. A Kluth then took Callisto, so I went over to drop some inf. Was unable to drop on planet. I was at just over 50gu from planet. I then made sure I orbited the planet. Still not able to drop. Not even the metals I had mined. I then tried to unload inf on the Kluth ship that was still there. Not able to transfer, even though he was within range. I jumped back to Ganymede and grabbed an inf off the planet. A kluth jumped in behind me. I tried to unload inf on him. Not able to (also in range).
Less likely reason - I had unloaded some infantry on another ship, which avoided it and jumped away. My pods followed. Could it be that the pods were still travelling through space and they weren't allowing more pods to spawn from me?

Forgot one thing - not sure if it's a bug, but now that shipyards require resources - specifically hydrogen, it may be worth considering. I was playing in Cygnus, which as best as I could find, only has a couple planets with hydrogen. I was the only member for the most part on the UTGO side, with ICC and Kluth already having def bases on developed planets, which makes for a hard start. I managed to get a planet up and running, and then a second, and got access to metals and heavy metals, which are fairly abundant. But when I got my shipyard up and tried getting a better ship, I found I lacked hydrogen. So I tried to get some for a gas giant (being hydrogen, you'd think that would be easy)...
I orbited it fine, but could not activate my mining beam to get any. Now if you're laughing because you can't mine hydrogen in release from gas giants (I don't know - never tried), why not? You can get it easily from any planet that has it as a resource when using the mining beam. Anyway, if the game is going to be at all playable for 3 factions in a system scenario with few planets with hydrogen as a resource, we need to be able to mine hydrogen from gas giants.
Just my opinion.

Well, 1.481 isn't really set up for scenario. The reason you can't mine hydrogen from gas giants is the funky hitboxes.

I dont like the stocked up inf on one spot..
- If you want to cap a planet, you just unload a mountain of inf and wait till
the red mountain comes.
Then you got a nice mixed mountain of red and green units.
- One bomb is enough to kill an entire mountain.
- The one with the most inf wins. In the current version you can cap a
planet with 12 units VS 16 units. You just got to use the right 'tactics'. Like
surround an enemy inf with 2 or 3 units. That is still possible in the Beta
but less effective..
- If you camera correct, you can see that a mountain of inf reaches far into
space. Not really convincing.
Just my point of view. The rest of the Beta rocks!
-Sabel
p.s. Sorry for my bad english..

Ok. Here's something that happens to me EVERY TIME I log onto the Beta Client.
I stop getting any chat on my retail client. I have to close it and relogin to get back into the chat.
Then it works like normal again. Any idea what causes this? Kinda annoying....
[edit] Problem also happens vice versa..... after I relog into my retail client my Beta goes dead..... ack. ;/
[edit #2] After relogging to Beta Client players in the Retail lobby can see my chat attempts, but I do not appear in the room. I cannot get whispers, but players can /send me and the sends show up on my **now** active Beta client. I can also send back to them. =)
[Edit#3] Thanks for your response Tael. I was not aware of that issue. =)

def still acting up. dbase it missles dont do squat, pd works fine tho, fighter bases launch fighters sorta, its more like they spawn closer to the target than the base, and it still seems hit or miss wether they launch or not
sensor bases, still make the ECCM active, ECCM inactive spam
beacons- do these things have a lifetime now? got hit with a couple and evenutally they disappeared, didnt change ships or gate either
[edit]
bombing and structure targeting, still messed up, usually cant target buildings, save for some def bases and the occasional barrax or starport
not much of a problem since pcms have enough splash damage to get em if you can land one near the target, and with mirvs you have to aim next to the target anyways, but hunting for 'holes' in the yellow diamonds is annoying
