Default Create planets... don\'t make sense!

My planet creator ship created a planet which carries the a rather interesting comment:

"Medium sized planet which appears to be the home of long-dead lifeforms."

HUH!?! The guys in the charting department must have drank too much cheap stuff Last night, that planet is brand new!

'appears' being the operative word. perhaps the gravitational condenser operator was feeling artistic.

Hith Hiker's guide quote springs to mind:

"I designed all the twiddly bits around Norway. Won an award, you know..."

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so Brain but, if you replace the P with an O, my name would be Oinky, wouldn't it?"

And look at the animation when you create a planet. It's always an EARTH-like planet, then it shifts to whatever type the game has randomly selected. Wouldn't it make a bit more sense to have a no-atmosphere planet as the default animation? Then the atmosphere could appear Last? And the Ringworld has only one image with one color star... there should be at least one image for each color of star.

not to mention atmosphere type. the inside of the ring always looks like a rock-oxy
