Nothing big or too important, but just suggesting that the editor's cadet profile is not really good for testing things out on the fly when you need to. But it saves instead of going thru GCQL, then choosing your server through the list.
=- Main Point -=
Say you made a map, and you dont want to PUBLISH IT, and you need to test things out, build up planets, combat, ect. Well, the cadet profile for testing is the lowest rank so only limited things are possible.
=- The Suggestion -=
- When Server is marked as "Do not publish" set cadet to FA/GA rank with badges for testing (not really recommended thoe because it ruins the rush for people who are not at that rank. But it will allow the map maker to perfect it by bombing, testing clusters, seeing how much space between areas are in dreads/stations to see if its fair...ect, OR:
- Maybe Implement a login system to log into your DS account with in the editor to test at the rank you are at.
=- OFF Topic Suggestion -=
- Maps that are published, should have a password feature, for private use of players who are invited, or for fleets, tactics training, ect.
======
No one has to agree with me, but it would be very helpfull.

You can access your rank without publishing AFAIK. Just log in with your Username/PW.
Unless things have changed that is. I used to have a map with 10 stars that I used from lighting. Used to be able to log in a Admiral without publishing...Can't remember how though

Bad idea, people will just make servers to see what GA/FA is like....No, bad idea in my opinion

thats why i said it wasnt a good idea for the second suggestion, but the login suggestion would be appropriate.

Don't feed the Editor. It bites, plus we don't want to get it used to human food. It will disrupt its natural digestive processes.
