SEV Beta History starting V1.0

It would still be useful to decompile AIs that are distributed only in compiled form though.

I don't think decompiling would work. The AI scripts take pieces of the various pooled AI scripts when they are compiled... so it's not just 1 file being compiled into the .csf script.

IMO, it should be recommended for modders to include AI sources in a separate archive then.

Btw, will the map editor (or even scenario editor) be included into the full version? Sorry if it was asked earlier.

There is no map/scenario editor with the full version yet. However, you can at least choose starting locations in-game.

I just hope that whatever editor we get is more robust than SE4's. I think the lack of set-piece scenarios stems largely from the limited tools we have for making them.

I'd figure it would be really tough to make a scenario editor for SE:V - you'd essentially need to duplicate most of the interface to allow for creation of ship designs, research levels, and so on... but perhaps if MM gets some help it could work.

Well, hopefully MM will at least provide a map editor for SEV, and one that's friendlier to use than the one for SEIV.
