Idea: Allow editing of advanced empire info

[Shadowstar]

I recently came to realize just how much info is stored in Empire files, a lot more than what you see in the empire editor. For instance, empire files contain design types, colony types, empire settings, and even display settings, as well as strategies and more. These things cannot be seen or edited in the editor. If you want to change them, some of them you can't, and others you have to start a game, then change them, then save the empire file...

I know the empire editor is meant to be as simplistic as it can be, but there should be an optional screen which lets us modify these things before the game if we choose. I think it would be great if players could have thier own design types and colony types because everyone thinks about thier designs differently. It all depends on how they want to organize things. In SE5, it seems everyone has to use the version of the designtypes.txt/colonytypes.txt file on the server or host. But then, if you take an empire from one game that uses one set of files to another game that uses a different set, you end up getting BOTH sets merged into your empire file. So yeah, it would work alot better if people could define thier own and save that to thier empire file.
