Default Coupla SE5 burning questions

More than a couple actually...

1) If I reorder the construction queue and place some thing at the top, do I lose construction on what was previously at the top like in SE4? (there's no warning message)

2) How do I get the equivalent of the "Usage" report under the construction queue?

3) Is there any way to distinguish your sight distance from your anti-cloak sensor distance. Seems like your sight is shown by green hexes, but your anti-cloak "sight" can only be determined by looking at your components and counting hexes.

4) Has anyone gotten a population transport to do anything by using the minister? It's the only one I've tried. Do any ministers work? I'm using a custom made empire; does that make a difference?

5) Are research points lost when you research the last level of an area? It seems you can only control your research to the nearest 1% and that can be big if you have lots of points available. What happens to the left over?

6) What's everyone's favorite view setup. I am not happy with anything so far. The best I've found is F4 (top down) zoomed out so that the whole system is on screen and locked. This makes the planet icons/flag kinda useless. Either they are too small or too big. Is there some setting to make this better?

7) How exactly do Resupply Depots work? It seems like they will distribute their stuff to ships, planets and units anywhere in the system without ships having to be in the same sector. If this is true, then it would seem that there are 2 major ways to resupply (aside from generated supplies): a) being in the same system as a RD will help, but b) you can load supplies from any planet and after you leave the RD will refill the planet.
