What is the problem with SE5?

[brainsucker1]

The UI -- if I click on a hex containing a planet and several other items (ships, sats, etc) it is more difficult to choose the one you want (right click doesn't work) and give it orders.

Why cant I just click and drag a ship where I want it to go?

Why have I been unable reliably to give a ship multiple orders like pick up cargo, fly over there, drop SOME of the cargo and keep moving. It was easier in SE4

Really? I can right click just fine? I can also Shift+Click to get multiple ships.

What if you want it to go through a warp point to an unexplored system? How do you tell the game you want to warp if drag and drop means move? How about a planet 5 systems away, how are you going to drag and drop to a system map that isn't selected?

Huh? This is SE5 you are talking about right? Do you mean you can give the order but it isn't as easy as in SE4?
