Really? Cool. Now what FQM needs is pulsars, a small white star with a "cone of glow" circling it's poles (if that's possible.) Maybe the system can have other effects -- like only rocky worlds with some harsh but survivable conditions.

If only somebody was working on that, it would be cool.

Can stars have rings? (not ring worlds)

In reality, no. In SE5, nothing prevents you from making a ringed star model.

Some stars have disks.

I've decided to rescale stars so they have more realistic sizes. Since green isn't realistic, I've just made them the same as yellow. What do you think?



Full size link.
