OMG OMG OMG! Insanity is not a powerful enough word to describe this! Must download now! Download download download! Ahahahaha!
Now the next thing that should be done is that star background editor for Space tileset maps. It would be great to draw something like a planet or nebula in the background, and have ships fight in it. And maybe we can "draw" new stuff in it too, like weird space platforms or ships. Imagine the possibilities!

I'm accually extremely happy with this version. The more it seems like staredit (keyboard shortcuts and all) the better. I'm running out of things to say for improvement xD

Good point. Though it's envitabel that it would happen eventually. At least there would be good maps to play. Though this does remind me of one incident...
I had found a new map, and wanted to play it on B.Net. Problem was that nobody would join, except for my frien. So, my friend decided to make, and added " /w sexy pics" at the end of the game name. Instantly, the slots were full. I tried it again, with out the last part of the title, but nobody joined, so we just continued playing with the " / sexy pics" title. Eventually, we got bored (since a lot of people would immediately leave) so...yeah, we moved onto Racoon City for some zombie shooting.
