Default Re: SE:IV Gold vs SE5 Demo: Basic UI

PD- I agree with most of your points except one, where you say:

"SE4 allows you to have lettering under a planet for a number of different facilities on a planet. SE5 removes most of those catagories, retaining only Has Spaceport, Can Resupply, Has Spaceyard, and Can Repair. It adds icons to display empty construction ques, domed colonies, fighters/sats/mines/drones/troops/WPs in cargo.

Advantage: SE5. Improvements: ?"

I would say SE5 since SE4 required you to click each planet to figure out if any sats/wps/fighters were ready for pick-up (now you can see each system at a glance). Also, SE4 had no way to tell which planet had an empty construction queue by looking at the system. Now we do (similar to GalCiv II).
