Map editor needs serious help!

[Captain Kwok]

I am tired of dealing with the map editor. It can be made infinately better with a just a few minor additions, such as:

• Generate Random System
• Generate Random Object (Planet, Asteroid, etc)
• Easy add Warp Points, ie, click on two systems and viola!
• Improve the randomness of map generation
  

Those are just a few suggestions. We all know that Space Empires IV Gold is winding down and the next patch or two will probably be the Last, so why not fix up the map editor? It might lead to more maps/scenarios that might help sales a little bit. I know a scenario editor is a little too much ask, but to make the map editor a bit more functional is not.

I couldn't agree with you more Kwok, but we've been asking for improvments to the map editor since it was initially released and it just doesn't appear to be a priority. As frustrating as that can be.

I fully support your demands Kwok.
I was very enthusiastic when the map editor was released, but soon got tired to use it because it is so user-unfriendly.

[Master Belisarius]

Agree 100%!
Also, would like to see some things like copy and paste...
For the contest, create the map was a nightmare... but if I would had the copy and paste feature, I could have done a better map and more fast!

I would happily give up all changes for the next 6 months if I could have a Drog and Drop / Copy and Paste Map Editor.

Blasphemy; it should read my mind rather than drag and drop.

Serious note: hear, hear.
