I am loving the game, and I greatly appreciate the steps taken to ensure that 4x doesn't turn into accounting 101.(anyone else play masters of Orion III before mods?) That being said there are two piece of data that would be appreciated.
Faction or planet $ per trade points earned. As I understand it every TP can earn between 0-30$ every turn based on trade agreements, wars, faction bonuses and maybe other things. Since every TP on a planet earns the same amount could this multiplier be added in parentheses next to the total TP number on the planet screen? Or since every planet in the faction has the same multiplier maybe show it on the house/syndicate pages? Either option would save on having to having to back calculate this number.
Indicator of relationship between syndicates or houses. Inter Faction relations sometimes gets limited to throwing money and EP at projects trying to end wars and build trade routes, but it feels like there may be some other factors at work beside rng. It may be because of something said in the let's play videos, but it feels like when colonies are close to equal and moral is good wars are less likely and routes are more common. If this is true and there are more complex factors impacting relationships, is it possible to have a sliding bar or number indicating the general feelings between two factions? I completely understand if this is not the direction you want to take the game, or if it is not set up this way, but it would help make faction diplomacy more interactive and less random.
Thanks again for all your work into a great game.

lol the thought that the trade wars, etc aren't just completely random never occurred to me

this is true. If you go overboard with Cadar, you'll see more wars with them from the weaker factions, and more Alliances between the two you've ignored.
I am working on visually rendering this information in future updates, it's very complex data and I sometimes struggle to fit everything on the screen without turning it into Commander of Spreadsheets
