One thing Gal Civ lacked that i assume this game does too that would have been excellant and very useful is the following.

When you create a Randomly Generated map sometimes you will get a really good map, but once you have started the game you have no way of exporting the map so you could re-use it in a different game with a different species/sovereign OR even edit it in the editor to make a good random map into an even better custom tweaked map.

As such I would like to have an EXPORT map option so that I can save a custom map (minus the players) so that I can re-use it or edit it again later.
