Re: Create planets... don\'t make sense!
Actually, I think it might be possible to create custom animations of events (I think). I would a have sworn I saw the tile animation for Warp Points opening and closing.

Re: Create planets... don\'t make sense!
The pictures are in Pictures/Stellar; I'm not certain where the calls to those pictures are, nor do I know how to set the game up to choose the "right" picture for type/atmosphere/star color (for ringworlds) of created planet. Maybe the trick is to just remove the Last frame of the create planet picture (wouldn't work for ringworlds) and let the game fill in the "right" picture as it does now, but without seeing the rock/oxy planet first.

Re: Create planets... don\'t make sense!
Build a space yard ship (cruiser or larger), fly out to the star, and build starbases with the SM components you require.
There are many threads on how to speed up the process, and/or save money, but the SYS is what you need to get started.
Be sure to build all 11 or 21 starbases in the same square as the star, too.
