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

This game reeks of potential.
I'm pretty excited.
Anyway, here are mine:

Most menus and sub-menus: Visually confusing. I'd reccommend darkening the system screen behind the menu (50% opacity maybe?) Something small, but I think it would help considerably.

Ship Design Screen:
allow a (doublt/shift/ctrl?) click to add a component to the next available slot. Move the filter comps button somewhere else. I'm not too fond of the upper/mid/low decks as it is, but the restriction on armor worries me. The ship designs can only hold so much armor, but (apparently) almost as many shield generators as you could ever want. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. And, if armor ends up becoming unbalanced, what's to stop a gamey shipset creator to add unnatural numbers of armor slots?

As an aside - that's a lot of research for ship hull levels :\

That's it for now, more later probably
