ARG - I spent most of today working on my procedural galaxy creator (C#) and saving the results to XML. I've got nearly everything complete and tomorrow I'll be working on the summary report (Faction count, etc). It was a great learning experience (especially trying to get a WHILE loop to work right) but MAN I REALLY missed the VISUAL layout of PM and I've only been using PM for like 4 days...
Just need to figure out more ways to extend PM so that it can do even more.
