A Better Empire Tree?

So far I love this game, pre-ordered it about 2 weeks b4 it came out so I didn't get to try the beta, and I'm not the best player, but still, its fun.

A thought occurred to me though of how to make it even better.

The "Problem": Alright so this isn't so much of a problem as it is an annoyance, the Empire tree is great and all, but once you start expanding (and i mean really expanding, like moving on to other star systems) then it becomes to long, its like trying to navigate a very large webpage just to find one word, the ability to collapse the planets info helps, but it still takes to much time IMO to find the single planet your looking for.

The Solution: I believe that a better system would be to have a tree system, similar to how you would categorize a family tree. For example, you could start w/ the stars, and if you collapsed everything to its most condensed form, you would have just the stars visible, then there could be clusters, maybe 3 or 4 planets, and then the planets themselves and from there just fallow the current system.

Just to point out, I'm not complaining about anything, I just think this system would be more efficient the then one currently in use.
