#260 planets generated too close to suns
See forum thread for screenshots
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8190
The station shown inside the sun's atmosphere is orbiting a frozen ammonia planet. Not very possible unless the star only recently ignited...
Molten planets should be more common closer to stars, and frozen planets more common farther away.
And stations shouldn't be built where they would probably be fried, unless I'm mistaken about how close to the star I was, and/or future tech can reflect away a large fraction of incoming energy.

I agree on this one.
I jumped into the Eeruuul system and there was a large red star infront of me, it took up more than my screen. I headed towards the Anu jumpgate and found that i wasnt getting anywhere fast. i toggled my targets to find another star was minus ******** meters from me.
After sitting there about 5 mins and realising that its gonna take a very long time to get out of the stars proximity, i decided to go afk and return later. i arrived at the jumpgate (that was only several hundred KM away) maybe a good 30+ minutes.

I jumped into Solace/Eeruuul from Anu --> Arrived at a distance of -790378m from Eeruuul A. (Screen shots available, if anybody cares).
By casual observation, it appears that EeruuulB orbits EeruuulA at the same distance that Erikson orbits EeruuulB, thus bringing Erikson's two jump points (with Anu being the one closest to EeruuulA) inside the nominal radius of EeruuulA. I have appended the relevant lines from Eeruuul.system for analytic verification.
As a final irony, Erikson is a Tundra planet.

Please...don't be such a perfectionist (wow, I actually spelled it right lol).
