I been working on sparse systems myself and have played a few games in them (and believe that the AI works a bit better too) but would be interested to see what you have developed. Would you post it into the Mods Archive? Thanks....
I take the earlier point that we could consider Ice and Rock planets to be variations of the same thing and that the Tiny - Huge descriptions only represent increments around some ideal planet size. As for Gas Giants though, I think we have to assume that some form of gravity tech has been developed to allow them to be colonised.

modified system types files are always good. there should be a way to tweak the AI (i have not tried editing the AI scripts) to behave in the dense planet areas the same way it would in the sparse planet areas. that would certainly be a significant improvement.
this might sound silly to you, but from the picture it looks to me like the gas colony is actually floating. i guess they just have to develop the massive hot-air-baloon technology, and dont really need to lighten the gravitational forces.
