Default Re: Map Editor Manual or Readme

I found these abilities listed under specific objects in the system editor. Warp point has I believe eight different abilities, planets have a whole smack of em, star, asteroids, ect. ect.

I'm guestimating that periodic warp points come and go, like a real worm hole. The warp point-ability required I think refers to having specific technology for one to utilize it. I think, makes sense, kind of like in "Contact".

Taz, you mentioned that by adding a number to the value in the ancient ruins corresponds to the amount of technology found. So would that mean if it has 15, that would be 15 new technologies gained, or perhaps 2 level 3, and a handful of level 1 and twos. I went hunting around in a computer generated map to find planets with ruins on them already and discovered that a great many of them had high value numbers like 13 or 15.

Also, have you figured out any correspondense to the unique ancient ruins and number system as far as which number gets you what tech. Thanks.
