FAQ:
Why no Binary Star Systems?
Because the game allows for similar binary star systems only. I recommend building a custom map, which allows for placing two and more stars close to each other to form multiple star systems. Or, you wait until I've got my own impression of Milky Way done.
Will the stars be formed when starting a new game?
Yes, they will, but recon that the giant stars take more then one tile, so planet distribution around them is limited.
Will you expand on this?
Depends on what you want to have imported. I have ideas for pulsars, quasars and supernovaes, yet haven't figured how to do it though.
Are purple stars enabled?
No.
