Yeah, there is that option. If the game is set to "All player's planets the same size", then your carefully designed selections may be overridden.

If a starting location is placed over a sector with both a planet and a moon, which is selected to be the starting planet?

You can't be sure of exactly what would happen, but the game would change that sector as it needs to.
Example:Hydrogen gas giant with tiny ice and tiny rock moon, selected as home planet for the Terrans, may end up with any of the 3 altered to suit.

If selected for the Eee, which are a Carbon Dioxide gas race, you'd just change the atmosphere of the gas giant and go, but the game isn't that smart, and will again change a random planet. Or erase the entire sector and just put the planet it needs.
