it never, EVER occured to me that anyone would be crazy enough to want to build an entire map from scratch with the editor!
I've started working on a map that way. First I just placed all the empty systems I wanted on the galaxy map; now I'm filling in details for a few systems at a sitting and "connecting the dots" with warplines as I go. Playing with the Map Editor is something I can do when I'm a little too fried to think clearly enough to play the game.
I roll dice to make a lot of the decisions on individual placements and attributes.

Just generate a random map and use the editing function to tweak it a bit.
That was what I did for this first map. I generated a random map, then moved a few systems, added a couple more, erased some warp lines, and added some random start points. One of the first three players will start off isolated "in the hole". I haven't actually tested this map by playing a game on it yet, but I decided to post it anyway since you asked.
