actually, gas giants can be medium as well. but what do you mean by: asteroids are always rock?

i thought they were undefined, like a quantum bit in a state of supermotion. or were you talking about real asteroids? if asteroids are always a planet type, can they be colonized? i tried very hard to get them to colonize, but i think i remember that whoever first did it way back when, did it by turning them into rock planets and thus they could not be affected by stellar manip properly.

if they can be left as asteroids, and a seperate asteroid colonizer could be created, i would be very interested in knowing how. I know that it would be possible in a patch, because they have specific stats in the planetsizes.txt
