Hey,
We can't add new planet types. Maybe I will take the ice planet out, make its graphics look like stars/warp points/storms (each phenomena wwould only be one size), and then make warp points stars and sorms invisible. I would put both the planet and stellarobject in the same secor. This way you can only really see one, the one that will be populated and whatnot. The effects of the stellar body will still exist as well as order options (ie warp), but you just can't see that actual object.
This, however, will let stellar entities colonize storms, enery entities collonize warp points, and dimensional entities colonize storms. hmmmmm.
I could take away gas giants, make all planets the same time, and use gas of stars and ice for warp points. Have the energy based entities live out of warp points too?
We shall see.
