Yeah, the complaint dates from SE III but it's now become a 'sound bite' that hordes of people who know nothing about the game repeat mindlessly. How many playable strategy games can you name that don't use spreadsheet conventions to display masses of data? This stupid comment has got to be ignored. We want spreadsheets in space! Dressing them up a little bit doesn't hurt, but the game is about the information, not the graphics.
