re: #2 Orbiting planets
Orbiting planets was discussed to a great degree (I think it was on those old defunct forums at what's that site that no longer exists). The decision came down to that orbiting planets would only confuse players more than necessary. (You could also argue that the camera over the system in the bird's eye view rotated along with the planets... but that assumes that all the planets rotate at the same relative rate...)

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
