    I'm glad to see that the system editor is being polished up a bunch! I'll probably go and play some PA for the first time in a while, to see if this stuff works!

    The system editor is a work in progress... full CSG parameter editing will eventually replace that part of Direct Edit.

    As long as it is a bit more stable than the previous one, I'm happy. I got fed up with making sweet systems and then having them deleted as soon as I saved the system and closed the editor...

    There should be zero data loss now... after losing my test system CSG two weeks ago I was motivated enough to perform open heart surgery on the system editor.

    Let's hope you didn't replace the appendix instead! :p

    Reasonably confident there is still an appendix in there.

    Is there any word on AI supported Unit Manager/Tech Selection?
    With SupCom I often played against one or more AI's with friends using no nukes, meat grinder or some other weapon exclusion enabled. Would love to see it supported on PA:Titans

    See the wiki link in the second post. It's a WIP.
