2 different pirate factions side-by-side... I could live with that.
6 different pirate factions around the galaxy... hmm, well, as long as they all have only one SSP...
2 different empires, twice... now it get's tricky...
another empire with exactly the same flag as your own empire and same color... ok, now that's definitely no coincidence anymore, that's just... keep it nice...
Please let us at least edit flags and colors of Empires. I constantly run into same flag, same color Empires and it's not really fun when you can't see whether it's your or your neighbor who claims the territory, owns the colony/base/ship without clicking through lists.

A much more simpler approach would be making sure at game start, that Empires yield different flags and use different colors.

Whatever is easier for you, just please choose anything, but not nothing.

Yes, Game editor is pretty inferior. I was very disappointed when I've failed to find how to delete ships. I tried to delete overpowered debris in the galaxy to be precise.
