Staredit Network started out as a website solely dedicated to "Use Map Settings" map making. That will never change - it is our roots.
I never intended on expanding this website beyond that, because I never thought I'd have to. One year later, Staredit Network virtually dominates the UMS map making side of starcraft. So theres only one way to go, and that is forward.
We are starting a new Melee division within Staredit Network. Now our name will be known for "mapping" and not just "UMS mapping" alone.
Most of you are probaly thinking that Staredit Network is spreading out and so the UMS Division wont be as good as it is now. Incorrect. I actually know nothing about melee. This will actually help us, by making this website more inviting to melee map makers and melee players to the website, encouraging them to explore another strand of mapping. Same goes for the UMS division, they may too, find an interest in melee mapping that they didn't see before.
So, since I'm not leading it, who will? The new division will be lead by none other than my good friend Shadow Paladin which he is making his return as a staff member to oversee the Melee Division. Shadow Paladin has previous experience, and this leaves me to continue with the UMS division as I have always done.
He will be fully implanted into staff soon. For now, enjoy and start sumbitting your maps to our newly organized Downloads database. Spread the word

Muhaha, as the first replier, I will give the first brilliant idea...
A Combination UMS/Melee Map!!
Hint: if you played Age of Empires II, think Random Map...
That's right! A randomly generated Melee map!
The overall idea is to follow Moose's Teh Seekers' randomly generated maze, but balancing things like Resources and such. We can even generate Terrain (kinda) by random creating/destroying preplaced Buildings, or something like that.
Or maybe Yoshi meant pure Melee, a.k.a. Terrain/Resources only and no triggers? In that case... pretend I didn't say anything.

PURE melee... The UMS melee section stays; our melee section is ONLY for melee maps, no mass money or poorly made maps.

well i just have to say goodluck shadow with the melee. maybe ill make one because my UMS clan map i made wont fit pure melee. hope its a big success!

This gets me thinking...
If Meele is a sucess(which it will be), will it be possible to spread to other games after about another year?
SP as leader of Melee? Makes a lot of sense.

So, the focus would shift from Triggers to Terrain and Resource balancing, eh?
I don't know... that'll just turn SEN into one of the many other SC Map sites, instead of dedicated UMS... sounds risky.

Most of those map sites have nothing. We're dedicated to UMS totally, but SP's going to do a melee section.
For one, I'm not leaving UMS anytime soon. I doubt many of you will either. Just expect a "new crowd" to arrive.

Read the concept page pcFredz, i've already jumped into the world of designer a random map generator for Starcraft.
Presently, it seems it will NOT be user-friendly, but maybe i'll make a user-friendly version...

Unnn i know this sounds stupid.. But wahats a Melee map?

..... Uh its normal Starcraft... You know... build SCV.. Build barracks... Build rine... Attack other bases...
Oh and I think this is a good idea... I hate money maps because they don't take as much skill... In a money map you don't have to expand. Normal Melee you do.
I hope this will be a good idea...
PS: How about in your profile you can select if your a melee maper, UMS maper, Or Both... That will decrease confuion to melee map members

How could you have bought the game and not know what melee is? The game doesn't advertise itself as a game to make Use Map Settings maps, it advertises itself as a strategy game. Explain this to me...
Is this melee thing like, melee maps, or UMS Melee maps? Or both? HM!?

The corrector needs correction. How ironic. Unfortunately, we won't be seeing many of Yoshi's grammar or spelling errors anymore. You were wasting your time correcting it because there's a good chance he'll never come back to read it.
