Perhaps I can add a little bit so you can understant this most excellent theoretical idea by Puke.

In the past, folks have complained the game wouldn't let them build planets out of asteroids in systems with ringworlds on the star or all the stars. It displays the error message: "There must be a star in the system." So, Puke is guessing that you should be able to build a star in such a system. He references the fact that the game changes the star to a planet of type 'x'.

This is really quite ingenius if it works.

P.S. Oh, and this is quite trivial, Puke, but with the 0 to 12 (x,y) coordinates, you would be limited to just 169 planets in the same system.
