Another thing - when you make a planet a 'ruin planet' - how do you describe it as such?

Any that I've made - when in the game - clicking on them does not display a msg that 'Sensors reveal ...', etc. Though they do show in the Special list under the Planets icon.

Did you add a description blurb when you placed the ruins on the planet?

Yeah - I missed that.

However - there's another problem when I try to add a moon to a start planet. In-game the moon is shown in my atmosphere and the original planet is as well but only the moon is colonized!

And it would be nice if it was possible to move a system rather than having to delete and rebuild it.

You can do that: click on the system and press the Edit button on the Galaxy Window, rather than the one under the Space Object List.

i would be nice if you could randomly generate a single system, instead of an entire map. and automatically place warp points between two systems, by selecting them on the galaxy map.
