This is my suggestion to rescale the current starmade universes to more spacious ones
- Rename what are currently called systems to par-sectors.
- Rename what are currently called planets to moons.
- Change the current stars at the center of par-sectors to large colidable scenery objects that you can land on repersenting planets. But still allow players to salvage random things from the scenery object from orbit.
- Make stars their own par-sector, a better reflection of a stars size compared to other celestial objects. All the sectors in the par-sector doing increasing scales of solar damage to passing ships.
- Lastly make solar systems 16x16 par-sectors in size with a star par-sector at the center.
Minimal physics changes with the exception of the planet/scenery thing and much better relation of scale of star systems than the current model.
