i think it must be Camera_1 but camera_1 .. i think the map preview will find camera_n places, and they will be displayed correctly in the "fixed location" preview, but the game only uses Camera_n nodes as start locations. Its only a theory, to be on the safe side, use Camera_n nodes

ok, how to make start locations scroll to the position you want to make the first player start (yea) ALT-leftclick where the start location should be. You will add a pin-like object now doubleclick on the pin. A options dialog should pop up. Leave every setting untouched except the name. Change it to Camera_1repeat this procedure with Camera_2, Camera_3 and so on

for performance reasons there will be a few asteroid sets which are larger then now.. so fuildic will get playable  with this 'sets' it will be easy to fill large areas of a map with asteroid fields.. moveable asteroid fields are not planed
