slooow MA

What is it that makers the mission editor sooo slow? This morning I started adding the second mission of an arc and things were moving along. I had to stop to go to work and now (this evening) trying to edit, I can hardly get anything to move! This is only the second story in the arc, is it going to get worse? What makes it slow like this?

Is there something I can do to make it work better for me?

Opening up the MA stirkes me like opening up the Black Market, it's always a slow starter. For me though, once the screen finally loads up, it moves along pretty quickly, I've never had the problems you described.

Might be a good idea to try moving to an under-populated zone and doing your MA work there (assuming you're in a currently populated zone when you have this problem).

One thing you might wanna do. Everytime you add an npc (Enemy, Ally, etc.) if their animation is turned on in the editor, turn it off. This seems to slow it down for me.
