in the text box of the editor there are always some limits. Star/planet limit or percentages for the character skills. I would like it if the devs removed these. I understand that high number may crash the game but seeing as they will only be able to be changed in the editor there won't be any problems since players can change them manually.

Can something 'contain' more than 100% of anything? I'm not sure how something can contain >100% of something. Of course, percentages over 100 work if we're talking about 'differences of quantities' but that isn't the case here.

Not to pour fire on things but surely if a high number crashes the game then you would not be able to change the amount?

Personally, I think there are higher priorities for changes to the editor. For me, improving the usability comes ahead of improving what you can do with it.

Some suggestions for improving usability are here:
