My primary gripe of the design of SE5 (besides the AI) is the system function layouts (or lack of them). Just like most of the iconized Empire sections like Worlds, Colonies, Ships, Build Queues have a custom layout feature (which is very cool), the system views need some way to customize the layout.

It would be fantastic to have a system facility view where I could see all the facilities that exist in a system and that are also in the build queues. I currently have to use an excel printout with all the special facilities for each system I am managing, just to keep them straight and not forget to put a system wide facility in each system.

The Department of Temporal Investigations is a bureau of the government of the United Federation of Planets, mandated with investigating and reporting on all incidents of time travel involving Federation citizens or otherwise affecting the UFP. The Temporal Integrity Commission is it's enforcement branch to protect and maintain the timeline from changes by outside forces. The Temporal Accord is an interstellar treaty regarding time travel, similar to Starfleet's Temporal Prime Directive. When time travel was first developed, all the major temporal powers agreed it would only be used for research. Some factions broke the accord, initiating the Temporal Cold War. In response Commissioner Daniels enlisted a fleet of UFP's finest ships and crew of various times to combat the factions.
