There are resedit editors for every resource type, so there is a syst editor, but they are 'just' ( :p) visually rearranging the data, and linking the data to various related resources for easier cross-reference. They just make it easier to see what you are doing, rather than scrolling down enormous templates and looking up various flag settings. The resedit editors are the part of the package called 'NovaTools'. There are around another ten editors that can be used to different things, from checking what ncb's are set, and where they are set to printing out resources in such a way that you can edit them in a spreadsheet.

And if there was no system/map/galaxy editor (something I do know! ), how did you put the systems into the game? The nice, old-fashioned way (which was so complicated and hard to understand, in my opinion, I never even attempted it!)?
We had all the systems in place long before Nova was even being considered for use as the Ev3 scenario, and yes, we did the old-fashioned way. Dave and I printed out around 400 sheets of paper on which we wrote what we wanted in the important fields for every resource, and then I went through and entered all the data by hand. It only took a few weeks to get it all done. Well, it would have done if we hadn't procrastinated as much as we did...

Keep up the great work! If I may so ask, (and I hate doing so, because I sound selfish to myself) are there any chances of any movies making it into the game? Or are they still on the "it would be nice, and if we have the time to do it" list?
Yup, still on that list.
