Why no MAP editor?

What I'm waiting for is an editor that is polished. I've tried out the one that's available... I can't get it to work. I suppose I'm the only one. Hopefully there will be an official editor, that works on all computers...

SEV, more than a feeling.

I'd rather wait for him to do a map editor fully and perfectly, rather than have him release another unfinished product. His publishers pushed him to release early for SE:V, but there's no one to push the map editor out. Give him time.

There's actually two map editors with a graphical interface floating around...

Space Empires Depot | SE:V Balance Mod

It was my impression it was one of those features that was withheld until a Deluxe or Gold version is released. Sorry, I can be a bit of a cynic at times.

There was actually no intention for an "official" map editor. The map compiler was released so that interested parties could create their own map editors instead, which MM thought would be more helpful based on feedback regarding the SE4 editor.

Too bad there are only two. Though good, they are admittedly less than perfect. Another SE4 feature that didn't make it to SE5.

They're just a work in progres. I personally perfer RodgerN's map creator.

SEV, more than a feeling.

To give some perspective, they are both generally better than SE4's official map editor.

They're not too bad despite their limitations, though they kind of whet the apetite for more.
