Ok I have a suggestion on the topic of universe generation. I've noticed that the new planets take about 5min to generate when I visit them for the first time. I do not think it's an issue with my computer (Core i7). So to "fix" (hide) this I think when you first start a new universe after the loading screen it goes to a "World Generating" screen. Have all of the sectors from -20,-20,-20 to 20, 20, 20 or something or maybe some configurable option. This would allow the server to completely generate all planets, asteroids and stations before the player even enters the view range. I think this may alleviate the long generation times for large structures. For me I'd rather wait before I start playing than wait while I'm playing.

Naaah. What SHOULD change is the generation and loading order; All surface segments (chunks) should load before the underground ones, since you normally don't see the underground ones.
