Well I guess we can't expect the developers to give us all the tools or access to all the specifics of the game. If they did it would be freeware and probably not as good. But the abilities seems like a reasonable compromise. Helio.....how did you get it to spawn weapon pods? I hadn't thought about that but that actually seems pretty cool.

If you don't update the on

I just recently got the 7 Deadly Sins Mod and wanted to make a custom map for this mod. Is there a way for the map editor to recognize the additional planet types? So this way I can add the new planets and races to the game without just using the in game editor and end up with 50 rogue planets and non of the other new planet types.
