OK. Thank you very much

One thing that does need to be resized is the engines-larger ships shouldn't be able to get insane speed so easily. i disagree. In space it doesn't really matter how big you are, you can still go the same speed because there's no friction in space. You might look slower because of your relative size but you can stil go the same speed.
I tried that once and it not only didn't work but made the planets like they normally are, i.e. only one other besides normal homeworld habitable. I think it's probably because I did something wrong (because I'm figuring stuff out as I go) and I wanted to know if anyone more knowledgeable had managed to do it.
It once occurred to me when exploring the RaceConfig.xml file: is it possible to make more than one planet your homeworld? I changed my CustomPlanets.xml file so that all the planets in my home system were habitable; is it possible to make all five of them my homeworlds? Also, thinking about this led to another question: if it is possible to have multiple homeworlds, what about home stars? I think it would be cool (at least, for me) to have more than one system in the beginning.
