I feel a bit like a spoiled brat for wanting more UI streamlining from a game that already has such a great UI, but nevertheless, here are a few small suggestions that occured to me in my first playthrough:







Hopefully I'm not the only one who would find these things useful. In any case, the fact that all I feel like bickering about are minor UI tweaks speaks volumes of how well this game already plays .

I agree. And I would like to emphasise the need for a clearer overview of planetary improvement. At the moment too much information is being shown in a tiny window. There are two good reasons for possible adjustment:



1. A player has to perform to many actions to obtain a relatively small piece of management information. Especially with longstrung games the effect on micromanagement becomes tiresome.



2. It would be certainly rewarding to see certain exploitations and discoveries in systemview, rather than planetview. I would suggest a very basic overview in systemview, more elaborate in planetview.



At first and second glance I very much approve of your graphical suggestions. Simple and elegant.
