Very, very close to beta. I stuck a new screenshot up at (url="http://"http://www.arescentral.com/editor")www.arescentral.com/editor(/url) for those of you who can't get enough.

Prepare ye.

I'm happy and sad. Hera is so close to beta, and while I'm not a tester that means that it's pretty close to coming out! And the system for object placement looks decent! And the Admiral will soon be availible (I hope!)

BUT I CAN"T WAIT ARGH!

In the next world war,
In a jack-knifed Juggernaut,
I am born again.

I know it's a little late, but wouldn't it have made more sense to call the editor "Hephaestus?"

No, I'm not that cruel. I don't use the flamethrower on my
enemies. I save that for my
allies.

Hera, as the Greek goddess of marriage, would be far more appropriate for a program that takes away so much of Grammaticus's life with the attention it needs.

I think it's pointless to debate about what to call the editor. Hera, however, is a four-letter word, so it's easy to associate with Ares.

BTW, according to Greek mythology, Ares was actually a pretty bloody awful warrior...

In Greek mythology, Hera was Ares' mother.

Ares was a big jerk. He like to make trouble and he cried like a baby when he got hurt. The crew members of the Apollo weren't feeling heroic when they learned that Earth was under Cantharan rule -- they felt hurt and like making trouble.
