What is the problem with SE5?

[PvK]

I largely agree with Slick. There are multiple killers for me, though I hope/expect enough of them to be patched eventually. Meanwhile, I have more polished games to play (e.g. Dominions 3, SE4 ...).

UI problems undermine the new features (e.g. no way to easily manage many units, tedious design UI, ship system status display practically stalls my 1.4GHz GeForce 4Ti computer, ...).

New features not developed enough so they cause gameplay problems, such as the retreat feature (which I DO want - I just want it implemented _well_) being improperly implemented.

etc... Modded SE4 is far more appealing for now.
