What is the problem with SE5?

By Forced Simplification.

This process basically dictates that every aspect of the game's interface needs to be reduced to a point where as little thought as possible is needed in the determination of how to do something.

For example, component placement in ship design in SE5 requires you to click on a component, then place it on the ship schematic, then click to install it (i guess that's the word?) on to the schematic and so on.
Forced Simplification would force it to operate via drag and drop with the computer also able to allow us to double click a component to automatically install it into the design.

Another would be to remove the panning, zooming, and scrolling buttons and allow the player to merely right click and drag the camera while holding it to the position and angle the user desires, zooming would of course be handled by holding the right mouse button and spinning the scroll wheel back and forth.

And similar steps could be taken across the interface to reduce the insane number of mouse clicks required to do a single task.
