A couple of important changes to events might be necessary because of 1.5
- We no longer have the ability to edit the MV live with the Editor program, so we can't add planets, move things, add or drop safe zones, or really anything that relied upon the editor in the past. This strongly limits the mods to the MV that staff can make in order to accommodate an event.
- A number of scripts may behave differently now; this requires testing. Thus, even scripted help is up in the air at the moment... so don't bet on a Gaifen attack or automated defense or something.
- Ships are theoretically better balanced, so you don't have to worry about banning EDs and PDs.
- Probably other things as well... we'll have to play around a bit more to get the hang of things to see.
The main thing is the lack of editing. For the moment, events will have to work within the normal game limits; once we figure out what is possible to edit, we can start offering more help again.

but why would they get rid of the editor when they know it will nullify any event they want to do?
