Makespďn can spin one top-down image, but it would be better to make 36 pics with the program you're using. What graphics program are you using? Res-Edit is of course the best to use, but if you want an easy to use program, try Schmelta for missions, and the R&R; Editors. All available on the EV Addons page(utilities).

ResEdit's the best. At the moment there are a few people who are trying to make graphical editors (me included :D), but until they're ready (if they're ready, rather), ResEdit's the best. Use the EVO bible with it (sorta a necessity if you don't want to start out without a basic knowledge of it), and ResEdit is your best choice.

It might be a good idea to use developers map to make systems and space objects. To make ships either shipwrite or the docks will do just fine. Make sure to make a back-up. Just in case ;).

Whatever you do, use Res Edit. Once you have read the EV Bible really well, Res Edit is rather simple to use, especially with Escape Velocity.

throw ev edit away. just use schmelta v and res edit, along with the ev/evo bible. its much easier to use, and there is no added agrivation.
