I'll posit a guess for those:

The fifth is for the new stealth system. The fourth for the new assimilation system. The third... that was the weird yard (McKinley yard or something) that's available ... but I don't remember anything from the Team about that. The second, no clue. The first: maybe a uber starbase upgrade, who knows 

Yup, definitely would like a comment from the Team

I actually found a Adms log image for the first, and I think I found a .sod that went with it but I'm not sure about that.  They are probably left overs, kinda like the fighter from the game Desent.

1. Federation Spacedock/Starbase
2. Not a clue (though it brings the old HyperImpulse to mind)
3. McKinley-Type Yard
4. Tractor Beam
5. What Dominus said...

The Spacedock sod is still removed from game, but everything else relating to the Spacedock is.

yhea, there is a fed_outpost.SOD in the addon folder that is a different size in kb from the fed_outpost.sod in the SOD folder but when replace it still the same model...
but everything for a starbase is there, just no SOD... I dont think there is anything left over as they remove most left over things but digging through your see a lot not finished things... ive found more button gems ill post up another time so we can all make gueses...

Ah yup, you are correct Tyler: 4 is a tractor beam icon from the Marauder (Ferengi ship) I think

the second looks like some kind of transporter, and the last looks like the scanner from the nebula.

those are all old and obsolete icons from beta2 and before, so we will never see them in action again

no tractor beams? we dont get to tow ships no more...

The last one is the point defence button that used to be on the Akira in previous versions (I think )

Tyler got the rest correctly

Why none of the ships has a tractor beam (exept for the one Klingonship)? it could be helpful if you want to retrieve an one of your ships has a defective Reactor. It happens often to me that i try to ourun a enemy but one or two ship are lost beacause they are dead in space.

I think all the combat ships should have a tractor beam, even if they are unable to fight during tractoring?

They would be useful, especially since the Dominion uses its damn collision function...  >:(
