Re: Map editor needs serious help!
I couldn't agree with you more Kwok, but we've been asking for improvments to the map editor since it was initially released and it just doesn't appear to be a priority. As frustrating as that can be.

Re: Map editor needs serious help!
I fully support your demands Kwok.
I was very enthusiastic when the map editor was released, but soon got tired to use it because it is so user-unfriendly.

Re: Map editor needs serious help!
Agree 100%!
Also, would like to see some things like copy and paste...
For the contest, create the map was a nightmare... but if I would had the copy and paste feature, I could have done a better map and more fast!

Re: Map editor needs serious help!
I would happily give up all changes for the next 6 months if I could have a Drog and Drop / Copy and Paste Map Editor.

Re: Map editor needs serious help!
Blasphemy; it should read my mind rather than drag and drop.
Serious note: hear, hear.

I've never noticed this to be a problem.

Well, I don't know if this is what Qwok is refering to, but there is most definetly a problem with the random placement of empires on the map. Probably 90% of the maps I have ever created were randomply generated and I then placed common starting positions evenly spaced through the quadrant. The game just does a terrible job of that on it's own. Five players all crammed in the corner fighting for planets, and one guy way off by himself with noone within five systems of him. Wonder who's going to win that game?
