Default Re: Moons ??

Thanks. In the Last few hours I've undertaken a crash course in map editing ! There are several things I would like to mention:

1) I added a solar system and noticed that you cannot play from an Earth starting point with finite resources enabled. I tried this and all my solar system planets had resources of minerals 1kt organics 0kt and radioactives 1kt. This is a shame as I enjoy the added realism of playing with finite resources.

2) I didn't dare delete any systems as I read in the archives of this forum that the planet names get re-distributed amongst the remaining systems which can of course cause problems. Does anyone know whether this particular issue has been fixed ??

3) Is there a Definitive guide anywhere to using the Map Editor ?? Some guidance from MM would have been appreciated.

4) I had to have Saturn as a Tiny planet just to get the rings displayed. It's a pity there are no graphics of the larger size planets with rings. Unless I'm wrong of course.

5) I set Earth as my starting point (Race number 1) then I added a moon in the same orbit. Funny thing was, when I commenced the game, my Terran Race Homeworld was the moon and not the Earth !? Very strange.

6) Can anyone shed light on using the Abilities text box in the editor ?? And also the Description Box and Value Boxes ??

Best wishes to all members

Cheers
