It has been a while since I last played Endless Space, but I'm certain there used to be information at the top of the screen concerning various resources such as income, food, command points, strategic resources (e.g. titanium, antimatter, hyperium, etc.), and luxury resources (e.g. redsang, dustwater, hydromiel, etc.).  None of that is there now.  If I imagined it, then take it as a suggestion since such a display would be incredibly useful.
