Eventually it could end up here but Im not much for doing GUI's. It would still involve the same learning curve for what all of the things in the .txt files refer to so this is still a step in the path.

I started with the neutrals specifically because there seemed to be less involved with them, and they impacted the game less. AI's could come later. Randomly generated scenarios might be Last. Finally some editor though I doubt it since its just not really my style.

Neutral files are in the exact same format as AI files. In fact, the only actual game difference is that Neutrals are hard-coded not to leave their home star system. You might be thinking they are less complex because they seem to have less files associated with them, but that's only because they share more default ones.

It's not possible to generate random scenarios, at least without hacking a saved game file etc.
