Editing of quickstart files

It'd be nice if we could take a quickstart and build upon it by adding/deleting leagues, etc. before it creates the league from it.

This way, a skeleton could be modified by the user to create what they want without starting from scratch.

I agree 100%. In fact I was just going to post something similar myself. As it now functions, the Quick Start feature is nothing more than a "Save As". I can accomplish the same thing with a couple of mouse clicks. However, say I just spent 2 hours setting up my universe. I better have EVERYTHING right in terms of leagues, structure, ML Equiv's, etc, because once I hit the create league button I'm locked in to whatever I have. Even worse, 1 1/2 hours into the 2 hour creation I have to leave somewhere and now, lo and behold, I can't save. There should be a save during the league creation process, to save the template for future modification, etc.

Bump

As someone who's already released a quickstart, I agree 100% with this.

Quickstarts would be way more useful if they could be saved before creating a game.
