Possible sandbox mode?

[ndo360]

I've played this for a while and really enjoy it so far. I was wondering if it was possible to have a sandbox mode, where you get a blank sea and the ability to place factories, generators, specialists anywhere you choose. This could be used to answer many what if scenarios/questions.
I.e. What if a double agent intercepted a sub carrying captive specialists? Would captive specialists change sides?
It could also be used to create community created Tatical puzzles!
This would be an amazing feature, anyone else have thoughts about it?

I believe this was briefly mentioned in the reddit AMA, as well as previously on the forums.
If I remember correctly, this would be difficult to implement, but the devs are considering adding more tactical puzzles (so feel free to contact them about making one) and people can give them ideas. The only trouble is that the puzzles are difficult to make (have to use correct timing, specialist hire sets, etc), and probably very hard to implement on a mobile device for sandbox mode.
Of course I would be ecstatic if we got sandbox mode, but as of now, that seems a very distant goal from what the devs are currently working on.
