Things we'd like to see in the next patch

[Dan C.]

I would like to see the map format be unencrypted. The game file, should be certainly, however if you have a map file and want to see it all you have to do is fire up the map editor. It would be nice to have a format (even if binary) so one could write a program to generate random maps, but using some constraints (for example hyperspace, or start positions with sphereworlds etc.).

Does anyone know why the map format is encrypted in the first place??
