Yeah, since stars' descriptions say they are 'large' or 'small' or whatnot, they really ought to be different sizes. A red giant or two that takes up half of its system might be cool. I like the neutron star idea, too. That would be the size of a planet, taking only one hex, and close to black, but surrounded by a faint, weird purple 'ultraviolet' glow. Any planets in a neutron star system would be 'blasted' clean by the supernova that caused the neutron star, of course. No atmosphere. The closer ones might be only asteroids.

Even better, can you improve the 'wisps' of gas/dust that are swirling around black holes? They look like sponges swirling around in a bathtub in stock. They need to be elongated in the direction of the swirling. If the SE5 graphical engine can do trailing smoke from damaged ships, it can do these wisps of gas/dust properly, too.
