Right!
-Another thought would be just rending Pre determined maps, (kinda small) not the enourmous Gamma maps but something small. So you give up say 6 maps you have already done the admin stuff on the back side with. We take those 6 maps and then place decorations etc.. on them. We each pull the maps and then start working on the either individual or on corperation level and then submit back to you and see what you think.
- Also think up the parameter settings so you won't spend 2 weeks editing, like ... We don't want to see straight highways. We don't want to see decoration spam, we want sprawling zones, or we want to see X number of this. We don't want to see offensive stuff(obvious *** island fun land is out). How many terminals per island, what the distance from Terminal to teleport should be, Highway to terminal placement zones recommended distance.
-This would be additionally handy for two things. 1 you see what the players want to see(lazy mode engaged!) and you might get some additional islands.
-Would you ever think of seeing MPC structures within alpha? Like the little neat tidy villages?
Edit: Just reread what you wrote on something bigger than a 4" screen. Bummer on the internal tools
