Very interesting thread
Currently noone has done any satisfactory scenario AFAIK, and that's a pity because all other modding tools are here !

<snif><snif>You don't like the scenarios in the scenario pack released with Gold? <snif> I am hurt.

I agree that a scenario editor would be nice. Unfortunatly, one of the only things Aaron has said for sure about the future is that we probably will NOT get one for SEIV. Apparently the economics of it considering the amount of work required to make a decent one just don't add up for Malfador as a company.

Interview with Aaron Hall on Space Empires.org

SpaceEmpires.org:
Will there be a scenario editor? Is possible with the depth of SE4?

Aaron Hall of Malfador:
That's actually somewhat doubtful. It would take months to write a good one, and without revenue from the endeavor, its hard to be able to stay in business creating one.

However, don't be too disapointed. You would be suprised at the depth and complexity of what can be accomplished in the area of scenarios, if you just apply a little work and a little ingenuity. My "Stranded!" scenario in the scenario pack was done in about 30 minutes.
