Not bought the DLC yet so my perspective will be a little different.

1) I get the reasoning about horizontal space, but think it would be beneficial to have the names spelled out for "complexity" and such. On PC you can hover over the icon and get the meaning, but that won't work on mobiles for example. And unlike some other icons in the game that are pretty much self-explanatory, these are not. Can force a linebreak in the headers for example, so there is both text+icon.

2) Looks like the individual pages haven't been created yet (kinda what this discussion is about I guess), so this can't be done yet, but I strongly suggest to make the tables based on a template instead of hardcoding it. Even with SMW, tables like that can be made based on infobox data. That way it will be easier to update when Ludeon changes things around, which I'm sure they will do at some point as lots of balancing will be going on now. And writing a wikitext table with 10 columsn and 200 rows or something is... a LOT OF WORK. Would suck to have that wasted if Ludeon change half the values for something in two weeks. With a template, it's also much easier to add or remove a column further down the line. Something similar to material and such I suppose, which from what I recall is based on templates now.
