Colonizing asteroids is a good idea. It's fairly easy to do. It does cause minor problems in that you can't use them to make planets then, cause they already are as far as the game is concerned. You sort of need to keep a seprate class of asteroids that are not colonizable so that if any planets are destroyed by natural or other means the game has something to change them into. Those could then be formed into planets, or even colonizable asteroids.

I have always thought that planets of the wrong aptmosphere type were too restrictive as far as the amount of cargo storage available on them. I can see lower population because of the domes, but why do weap platforms, or units which can function in a variety of environments need to be stored in the domes? I would suggest raising the cargo capacity of domed worlds.
