(for the most part). Even if the orbit was not a epicycle, after not too many turns there would be planetary collisions.

I just think trying to add that would/could add the potential for lots of bugs and hassels. If you want to add something, put some planets in those nebula systems, that only show up with the ship when they are on the same square. (yup, you would have to take many turns to explore one of those systems)
Do not need orbits to be round, just a little added fun

as to the same sector ships do and no crashs

Still think would be cool
