Looking for a sandbox map with no AI.

from Sins Forums
I feel like an idiot admitting that I'm so bad at this game that I need a practice map.  I can't say I have much experience with RTS games and I have no experience with 4x games but I picked up Sins due to the glowing praise surrounding it.  After playing through the tutorials and my first multi-hour session I already feel that the hype is justified and that it is as addictive as everyone has said it is.  The problem though is that I'm still having some major issues getting a handle on some of the basic gameplay all the while I keep getting beat upon by the AI and those damn pirates.  I would love to have a nice empty map for me to play around with and learn the ins and outs of the game without having to worry about being crushed by the AI.  Unfortunately I can't find a way to do this within the game at all.  Does anyone know if there is a way to create a sandbox map with no AI?


Thanks!

map I made awhile ago:

this map lets you test each capital ship or combinations.

-You start with each capital ship (independent of race), sorry but you will need to level them up.
-Your homeworld is connected to 6 other planets (you start with 6 scouts), some are just normal pirate bases, one is a super hard pirate base and theres one terran planet that has a strong neutral force around it.
-One pirate base has all the caps owned by the pirates (they look quite nice in pirate grey).
-Theres no phase lane connection between you and the enemy so you can spend a lot of time trying stuff out vs the 6 other planets.


just made this now:

this map is stormfront, but one player can only access one planet.
make sure to start a new game untill you get the planet with phase lanes exiting it as your starting planet.
