Will there be a way to import older ship designs and styles into TA? I guess they'd need to have neutral rotation information added, but a small applet should be able to convert and move them. I have 7 custom races with ship styles, and the idea of hacking xmls or making all the ships again does not appeal. I'm not sure if DA ever got a tool like this. Perhaps the editors that TA comes with will be back-compatible with older designs and styles, and able to write them out as TA-compatible ones?

On a related note, will TA still contain the GC2 'vanilla' tech tree as an option for custom races? I have little interest in seeing my custom races shoehorned into the GC2 race-specific tech trees. Again, the editors may be able to provide this functionality (as well as the flexibility to create custom tech trees).
