Right click is like a tiny little God in this game.

Another thing: custom layouts are good for reducing the switching back and forth. I have my planets screen set to show me all the SE4 planet info screen plus Time to Arrival, for example.

Granted, but I fear that things like this, which are hard to figure out will not be found by newbies in time to avoid a highly public trashing in the media.

An tutorial that was even marginally improved from SE4 could go a LONG way to making this game accessible by john q public.

Right now the feature I want the most is an option for a 'classic' interface (ie an SE4 interface). I might even be able to overlook the lack of real race customization with a 'classic' interface/UI.

Ok, I've been playing the demo for a total of maybe 6 hours now...

And I just now noticed that the "real world" time is displayed in the main game window. Spouses and Significant Others of the world, Rejoice!
