Is it even possible to mod this?

You can add those abilities to Normal Star in SectType.txt and some random stars will have them. See FQM for lots of examples.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried some of the suggestions, but am going to drop this idea. Reducing the planet pics gave me planets that had strange textured surfaces instead of the smooth features in the planet pack. Increasing the size of the stars gave systems an uneven look. Using the background to create an 'artificial' large star pic actually looked fantastic, but was very hit and miss with Fyron's Quad Mod. I think I'm going to pass the torch to the next modder who wants to take on stars!

You have to move the position of any object in SystemTypes.txt (except for stars) that is within those rings that the background pic uses for the star.
