Planetsizes don't have abiliites. Entries in the Sector types don't have abiliites. For the planet to be chosen in a random map it just has to have these two things.
Do you mean set the created to true? That would probably keep it from being placed randomly, but IIRC there is a hardcoded restriction making all planet size entries with "created=true" require being made from a star. I don't think you can make them from asteroids.
