The local items area is buggy when there are more than 4 items in one sector. It seems like it changes the 4 items shown randomly when you switch to the second ship in your fleet, but stays as the same 4 items from there on (ie if you switch to the third or switch back). Even if you pick up one of the items it doesn't refresh with the other items in sector, it just shows 3 items & 1 empty space no matter how many objects are shown when flying through the sector.
Also, not exactly a bug, but I think the restart game option really should operate differently. It should take you to the game start screen, not the main menu. The game start screen should also remember not just your your last ship but your last difficulty, within session at least if not between different game sessions.
