Ok, back from the editor, and I have this to report: - My original problem was that I was expecting asteroid fields to show an orbit, so I would be clicking furiously beyond the orbit of Mars and not seeing anything, meanwhile I was creating a bazillion asteroid fields, which is why I blew my object limit (palm faceslap please) - I was able to build the solar system out to Uranus (no jokes please) and then when I tried to create Neptune, the editor suddenly stopped responding. I would select frozen gas giant, click on the orbit for Neptune, and nothing would happen. I suspect what happened was the editor lost focus, because after I created Uranus, I alt-tabbed out to go check my handy-dandy solar system map guide, and alt-tabbed back. Now the editor has lost all focus. - Here's the REEEEL FUNNNN kicker. I exited out of the editor, and as usual, did not provide a password. Now, when I try to go back in and re-edit the saved map, the game is telling me that no password is NOT the password, so I am now permanently locked out of my first kick at the Sol system! FUN! - In addition, also noted that there is no de-select button, (any ideas?) so when you create a planet, DO NOT try to then click on it to select it and edit it! All you have done is paste yet another planet on top of your first planet. I had greater success with right-clicking with this, but it remains clunky. Also, more fun, I originally genned a default Human game to get a system up so I could edit it, and they stuck the primary colony way out in orbit 7 or 8, so when I deleted this colony in the process of adding it to Earth in orbit 3, the game suddenly tells me YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED! So if you have to move your starting colony, CREATE THE NEW ONE FIRST!
