I'm sure I can find a post that discusses SE:IV UI and how everybody hated it at first (I know I did).
Honestly, in six months you'll be hopeleslly addicted to SE:V. Just like me

I hope so but I use the UI for over a year now and I didn't get over it yet.

Nowhere in any of those threads is anybody saying "The UI sucks. It's too clumsy, clunky and click-intensive. The ship design is needlessly complex and click-intensive; there is no reason at all to have multiple decks in the ship design screen, none."

I LIKE the multiple decks! |

I don't mind the multiple decks, but I wonder what purpose they serve. I think "inner" and "outer" layers for your hulls are a good idea, but multiple decks? Is that a "feature" anybody asked for?

It's been mentioned many times that they are there for the extra slots - which in some cases are necessary for certain ship shapes or sizes.  |

Re: What everyone hated about SE:IV
I like the idea of multiple decks, but I think there should be more control over which ships have them and which don't. Frigates, destroyers and all units should have one deck, cruisers 2, battleships 3, etc....

Re: What everyone hated about SE:IV
Regarding multiple decks it is fine as long as you can change them while having a component selected.
As far as the UI goes I hated SEIV at first as I was addicted to SEIII. The UI was improved over time to add lots of the features that were being requested. I would prefer that Aaron fix bugs and things like targeting and firing algorithms first and then focus on UI and feature adds. Let the modders fix the AI and adjust components and ships appropriately. This formula worked quite well in SEIV to the point that I consider it to be the best 4x ever.
Like six years ago there are things about SEV that really bug me today, units that don't stack, can't upgrade more than one ship at a time, lot's of extra clicks here and there, etc. etc. I have faith that over time SEV will be every bit as awesome as SEIV has been
