Do you really feel that map editing in a game in progress is a big problem that should be addressed in the next Version? I would think that most people play the game for the challenge and the excitement of the game. I played SFB (Star Fleet Battles) for years and just got tired of the "Rules Lawyering"
that now goes with the game. I guess winning at all costs is still popular.
I also beleive that there should be a Scenario Editor
included in the new version. The way I understand it, the only way to create a scenario is to play the game in "all player" mode and then save it when you reach the point that you want your scenario to start at.
