This blew my mind, although I know it is fluff:

<Malfador> Did I mention the System Map is 3D rendered as well? Nice spinning planets and all...

That will be neat

I also like that we will go back to SE3 style Intel and Research. It was one of the biggest turn-offs for SE4 for me for a long time. I downloaded the demo and kept on putting off getting it until Last year...

'Neat'? Not really. More like distracting, and a waste of CPU power. I hope it can be disabled to make SE V more playable on older systems. If he can allow 2D images to be used in combat rather than the 3D renderings I'd think he could disable this as well.

A good strategy game doesn't need fancy graphics.

True, but it still benefits from them.
