Sm mode is used for creating new player controlled empire or NPR empires, and you need SM mode to switch between which player controlled empire is active.
And finally even if you don't intend on a complex multi empire scenario you have initial research or fleet build points available which require the use of space master mode to utilize.
Then there is designer mode which steve restricts giving out the password for, which lets you look at or modify every npr, civilian , etc.
You can easily break the game changing that stuff, but it's a valuable tool if you have a long running campaign that gets broken by a bug which could be fixed with a little detective work and creative pruning.
