There is one effective way to edit a map:
Use the map editor to make the systems, place the planets, and everything else BUT the warp points.

Save the map and load the map and start a game with it, with tech setting set to high, enable save map in game, enable cheat modes, and load up your race as the only one in the game.

Start the game, and click yes when it asks you if you still want to play the game.

Build a stellar manip ship, and warp away.

After you're done, save and finish!

That's an innovative way to do it. My only change would be to go into the GAME map generator and generate the map there.

This is because the map generator is NOT random.
That's right folks, with the same settings you WILL get an identical map. (or identical series of maps)
Whoever programmed the map editor forgot to ensure a truly random generation. This is easy to do since many programming Languages have only pseudo-random number generator that must be randomized by programming tricks. (Like creating a Seed number based on the system clock's current time.)
