First of all the interface for this forum is awful; why not use the Invision package ?
Anyhow I would have thought that an editor would have been included in this game - apparently no. And no need to mention XML, I didn't buy a developer's kit, I bought a *game* - which should be playable right out of the box. And it is until such time as you want something more out of the map than Anderson star sitting next to Sol where Alpha Centauri should be... Funny no one at Stardock thought of creating a valid map of the Orion sector.
Anyhow speaking of stars, why is there so few of them and is it possible to expand both that number and the number of grids ?
