SE5: GUI design discussion..

Dazzle them with an over abundance of useless eye-candy and they will be drawn to it like a moth to flame!" and another phrase that can be extruded from the current industry is "Gameplay is a thing of the past, leave it to the archioligists and retro-gammers."

This is the opposite of everything MM has ever done.

Also there should be several "main-screens", as someone already have suggested.
1: Building view (or something). Shows the system (without ships) and have information about all facilities and construction going on ( I especially miss an easy available list of systemwide facilities).
2: Movement view (or something). Shows ships and waypoints ++. Easy access to fleet information, easy navigation between systems.
3: Colonization View
4: ?

That would be bad and would create much unnecessary clutter.
