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

Part 4:

Ship/Unit screen: SE5 displays bases in space and mothballed ships/bases in addition to the info in SE4's upper-left box. In SE4 you can display ships, units, and/or fleets. In SE5 you can do the same and also show enemy/allied items, but you can only do one at a time. You cannot, for example, show units and ships at the same time as in SE4. the layouts are similar but SE5's General tab has slightly less information.

Advantage: Nil. Improvements: Same as with the other list screens. There's a lot of wasted space on the right side- putting commonly-used options back into those boxes from the Layout and Filter screens would save time. Also, showing fleets should show the fleets, not the ships in the fleets. In games with extremely large fleets, the fleet display option will be all but useless.
