Sorry to bump, but I do think this is a good idea, to have all the designing stuff together in one place
One thing that would be nice is a bit more flexibility to the table editor, so you could, for example, create a ship table entry using a form, and then the program would insert it into ships.tbl at a specified point (By species/role), the same would also be good for other tables as well, though it would take a more 'aware' parser, which is more work for Kazan, who already seems rushed off his feet. I suppose the best part of this would be if the 'insert' info was saveable, so you could save a single table entry, and just run it through the program to insert it into someone elses tables. This would be great for Modders working on projects who are trying to keep their tables in order
Another nice idea would be 'Replace this item with original'. This way you could choose a ship or weapons etc that you have altered and the program could replace it with the original from the .tbl. I am sure we have all tweaked a ship but not wanted to replace the whole table again when we have finished, just a glorified cut&paste, but useful
