The deck levels are for extra space only; SE5 actually has fewer buttons on the main screen which is part of the problem (SE4 had 40, SE5 has around 30).

Fyron has a program out to make the forumla's for you. Once you get the hang of them I think they'll offer a lot more flexibility than the SE4 system.

EDIT: to improve the system screen a bit, go into Empire Options, click System Display. I personally hide all the names except for the warp points, reduce the empire flag size to Medium, and show only the Empty Construction Que, Has Spaceyard and Can Resupply icons. Cleans things up a little.
