[Runner]

That's exactly what I meant - a new, external tool which the user has to start by himself. And _if_ I find somewhere the specification of the savefiles, that's no problem, it's just a more or less dumb map of features from one game to another. But I really don't want to reverse-engineer the fileformat - would take me too much time than I am willing to spend.
Though there are lots of logic problems like I've never seen any pirate ships in SEIV, whereas in Starfury you get more pirates then merchants :-/ and other such things. Actually I haven't seen any merchants in SEIV as well...
