Touch Screen Support: We have not created a full touch friendly UI, as that would take months. But I have improved general capabilities along with some touch friendly improvements so it's all very playable using nothing but touch on tablet PCs like the Surface. Ultimately I would like to design and include a full touch UI for the game, but there is no time line on that. This is just a stop gap measure.

I noticed that the Button_Hangar_Start in text.lua does not work anymore and if we change the associated text, it don't change and stays at "Start"

EDIT : We can't use the interface of the game while testing a map with mapedit, the tiles tooltips doesn't show when we mouse over a tile. However, the hotkeys still work (space for end turn, etc.)

I'll restore the map editor functionality in the next patch. It appears that you can still use it to make new maps at least, even if testing on them isn't possible.

And I'll see what I can do about the Start button too in a future update.
