Please, please, please, please, multiple sector copying/pasting is a must.
Personally, I can wait. I'm trying to build a space port complete with bathrooms,
luggage claim, travel offices. multiple hangars, landing pads....etc, and it's a
real BITCH (sorry for the "French") to carve all that stuff by hand without
benefit of being able to make one sector template and then paste it wherever
it's needed. This is particularly true for those of us who like urban Jedi
settings that have lots of buildings. Well, those are my thoughts. :-)
