My suggestion is, add a button or buttons in a level's skills tab which when pressed would automatically set the skills to a custom preset of skills. For example, in this case all of the 8 classic skills are set to 100 (which makes you have an infinte amount of that skill in the editor). An example of when this would be useful is the fact, I often find myself making the actual layout of the level first and then going through it with infinte skills to get a feel for how the level plays and because you can only have a maximum of 10 skills I ususally just use the 8 classic skills. Maybe the presets could be customizeable? For example the people in this thread might want to set their "10 classic skills" as a preset. Maybe presets could be downloaded and set to other people?

EDIT: I accidently forgot to make the bomber skill set to "100" on the "After" screenshot but you get the point.

After some more consideration of this, I think downloading an importing presets is a bit unnecessary.

However, I still think a "set to 100," "plus or minus 10" and "increase all classic skills plus or minus 10/set to infinte" would be a good idea to have at some point. Lix has a similar thing to this.

The SLX Editor now has "Set All Skills To Zero" and "Random Skillset" buttons, I could look at adding Custom Skillset for sure.

This could then populate a dropdown with a number of presets, including user-made ones.

I'll add it to the to-do list for SLX Editor, which can be used to make NL levels.
