Re: Has anything really changed?
Most shipset authors for SE4 used normal 3d modeling apps to make their sets, so they will be fine with SE5. It's just the few that used Doga that will have troubles.
If you really want to, you can recreate a damage model like SE4 with iff() structures... I don't see why you would want to though, since most anything reasonable can be modeled as a function.
The SE4 method for components/facilities/etc. was needlessly tedious, prone to random, hard to detect typographical errors in the middle of families. It is a lot easier to manage the components/etc. as families than as individual items, especially for larger families.
