Same here with #1 and #2. @Problem #3: If i type a new MOTD the textbox on every other holding tab keeps the last message i typed ... no matter what holding or fleet. The message doesn't actually change, it's just the textbox showing the wrong text. May this be the case with your MOTD too?
How about: - Fixing the tons of ancient Bugs instead of adding more bugs with new content and not fixing them either? - A complete and up-to-date database. (stowiki is useless and out of date) - No more hidden game mechanics (like box-probabilities, the non-liniear console bonusses etc.)
I had the same connection problems with my launcher ... Looks like the DNS isn't working so i put the server ip and dns adress in my hosts file. Now it works just fine again.
