Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
Only actual planet objects can be colonized, unfortunately.
If you do not mind losing the rock/ice/gas distinction between planet types, you could use "rock" planets as "planets", "ice" planets as "storms" and "gas" planets as "stars". This would enforce that each race can only colonize its own type of "habitat". You would want to make sure to add a real star wherever there is a "star" and a real storm wherever there is a "storm" so that you still have the star and storm properties functional.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
Is there any way to *** atmosphere types so I don't have to sacrifice the Rock, Ice, Gas distiction. Then I could just put an "invisible" (graphicless) planet in the same secotor as these stellar objects. Of course if we are stuck with the default atmosphere types, then oh well.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
I spent alot of time trying to mod in colonizeable asteroids - gave up gas giant colonization because i figured it would be a fair trade.. remote mine the gas giants and colonize the little rocks.
got everything working, except the asteroids show up with planet names and descriptions. i think the descriptions can be fixed, but anything you mod in will be stuck with planet names... wasnt worth it to me, so i threw out the plan.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
Puke, make the colonizable asteroid a moon of a normal asteroid. That way, it will be named "SystemName Asterods V A" or some such.
