I haven't played the Alpha, so here comes a fresh impression on BotG.

What I find good as it stands.
- Love the pictures of stuff, even though some are missing.
- Love the map, nicely done even with the planet view and all.
- Good selection of different resources to produce
- Fairly simple learning curve, got just the right amount of Menu's

The elements that pushes me away.
- 10 Minute turn rate. Sorry, it has probably been mentioned before, it's just too long in the start of the game.
Maybe if it was reduced to 5 or 2 minutes it would be closer to acceptable.
- Too many selections, like on resource selection, two drop down menu's is too much, especially if the page reloads.
I suggest more search fields instead, maybe using some client-side javascript to instant search local data, as to to reduce server load as well.
- Micromanagement of trading is too much, like manually having to make 5 orders to sell water to your neighbor... really?
Love the control you have, but its too time consuming, so please make a "auto create order" tap somewhere to ease this process

I'm not done with this game yet, especially since I'm a huge fan of the genre, but to newcomers, these elements has a huge impact on if they choose to stay.

A possible thing to think about adding would be a Do Once check box for orders.

This would remove and order from the order list after doing it.

Specifically so you could add a one time set of actions into a loop that would then be removed.
