Map Editor Manual or Readme

Taz, do you happen to know if there is anyway to edit in facilities on a planet. Kind of like stumbling across a planet with ancient ruins and maybe some of them are grand and majestic facilities like a replicant center, or temporal space yards. Long since been used as the previos Users are now resting under three layers of sediment turning into crude oil.

Also what about editing in abandoned space bases and ship yards, or derelict vessels floating in space waiting to be discovered?

One Last also, in the abilities section for planets there are quiet a few options, couple of them happen to be: planet intelligence bonus, resource bonuse, defense bonus, ect. ect. do you by any chance know how this works?

Anyone know what the palace is for planet abilities?

Wow, I think I was just promoted to Corpral. Cool, how's that work?

The ranks are a representation of how many Posts you have made. You attain corporal at 51, sergeant at 101, etc. I think higher ranks have more than 50 Posts between them. General is around 1000, IIRC. Then there are the ranks they need for some of the forum members (i.e., SJ and the like)--"Commander of the Alpha Quadrant" around 3000 Posts,...

Ah ha, I figured out how to hide warp points. Yep, just place them in a nebulae system and set the abilities to what ever level you feel would be appropriate to have the point discovered. You can do the same with planets, ie: hidden ring and sphere worlds.

Yes, now I can resume my alternate dimension latice of warp points and secret derelict ancient planets.

So anyone know how far one of those tiny squares in the editor are as far as light years?

[pathfinder]

probably not light years...probably AU (astronomical units which is the distance of earth to the sun IIRC)...think ...these are solar sectors or systems...so the distance is a bit shorter that that between systems..
