How do you place a faction's starting location?

What you do is...
First go into the Scenario Editor menu and click on reload faction. Pick whichever faction you want. I'm not sure you have to do this though.
Then place the box thingy over whatever square you want the HQ to be. Go into the Scenario Editor menu again and click on create unit. Select which faction the unit will belong to and then select a colony pod.
After that turn off scenario editor only mode. Go into the SE menu again and switch faction sides. Switch to the faction. Click on the colony pod and choose the build command.
There you go. I know this is tedious but it's the only way I know how to do it.

You also have to reset the faction to get the social engineering right as well as give them their default starting tech.

Thanks. Geez, you'd think they'd make it intuitive.

Tried it once, I'll be damned if I try it again. I could just barely keep myself from tossing the whole computer out the window.
