Playable on Galactic Map in editor not working?

I'd like to run a new edited in empire when my criminal network is built. Ceding the planet to the new civ. Planets become cumbersome in my pirate games. I think my freighters start transporting to colonies instead of smuggling!

I'm not certain I understand your question, but if you're saying you want to use the editor, mid-game, to change the empire that you're playing, there is a simple answer: it's not possible at present.

Edit: actually that answer is incomplete. You could create the new empire, make it playable, save the map as a scenario (i.e. in the maps folder of the theme you're in), then start the scenario as a new game. In that way you could play the new empire.

Thank you! I want to play the pirate network "spinoff" with the existing pirate gang as close allies. No chance I could play two factions at once is there?[&o]
