If I did that, planets and such would have to be located between the stars. I'd rather keep them outside the whole sphere occupied by the stars.

Yes, exactly. In a binary system with two main sequence stars, the stars are quite far apart and the planets are bound to one star or the other. The "twin" star might be so far away that inhabitants of one planet might not even know about it. Some astronomers think the Sun has a partner.

Of course, the system I'm describing can't be done with SEIV/V as currently coded. And anyway, such planetary systems are effectively not binary or trinary anyway. So, what I'm really saying is that binary or trinary systems in SE should always be shown as red giant / white dwarf pairs or trios. If you're aiming for semi-realism, that is.
