Well, that still works, since building units does not require a SY. While a planet is cloaked, you can still use the queue to build facilities and units with the innate planet build rate.
What you can't do is use the SY to build ships/bases, or issue retrofit/mothball/unmothball orders.

A way to save current Saved Games from being broken if a mod is updated without having to have multiple installs of a mod would be a nice feature to have as well.

Time after time I have updated the STM mod knowning that it will ruin everyones current save game. I hate that and would really like a way for people to keep playin those save games with the new data, but not be bothered by the adverse changes an update could cause.

I know, simple solution, have multiple installs or get it right the first time then there would be no need for revisions.

Many balance updates can be harmless, but when you starting adding/removing tech requirements, component and facility levels etc, it can cause all sorts of mischief with a saved game - especially when trying to keep the data files all neatly organized.

However, to implement what you suggested would be very difficult to say the least!

It's probably been asked/discussed on a thread in the past, but I'll go ahead and ask (plead? ) anyways.

Is there any possibility of a new/updated Version of the map editing utility being created to go along w/ the release of the final SE4 patch? If not, np.. but it would be a nice thing to see (I also understand that the patch comes first in the priority chain, and can wait for as long as it takes for it to be finished).

Just a question, and nothing more...

There is always the possibility. It's not a very high probability though. There is no way to know for sure until it happens. If it doesn't it won't be for lack of requests.

A new map editor would be helpful esp if they start adding new ingame features and perhaps new planet, warp and storm types.

darn it!!! every time I see this thread near the top, I read it hoping that there is a new history.txt from one of the beta testers. Foiled again.

Slick.
