Something about all this reminds me of Alpha Centauri. I remember reading a retrospective which said that it didn't reach the audience it should have because the techs had such exotic names that their function wasn't immediately clear when looking at these names; players had to read the explanations to find out what the techs actually did. After a while players remembered the details for the techs but the initial learning curve was higher than that of Civ because of this, which in turn made players stay away. I fondly remember my time with SMAC, it was a great and atmospheric game, and the tech thing didn't bother me (I had the tech tree poster on my wall so all I needed to know was there at a glance).
Thought it was worth a mention.

That could be true. In our case the stats that an item modifies will only be a few lines down though.

you can now find crew to boost your stats (they take an inventory slot though)
