Some Suggestions about the Planet Editor

I wish that (when gas giants come out this will be more useful) when you create a planet you could create any of the planets we have now with just sliders and checkboxes (except for very unique planets like metal and gas). it would have an advanced button, bringing up a panel with very specific details, mostly for the atmosphere.

Atmosphere
----------------
I think that this one would be the most useful AWESOME features because if there is the right amount of different gases cool things could happen; some of these might be: Flammable Atmospheres (YES this includes gas giants), inability to sustain life, and maybe different colored atmospheres. To do this there could be several different sliders depicting the amount of gases like the most basic 4; Oxygen, Methane, Hydrogen, and Carbon Dioxide. I think it would be cool to have a gas giant with similar levels of hydrogen and oxygen lit on fire by a crashing orbital unit, completely obliterating it and watching it burn for several minutes, leaving a new, rocky planet. Just imagine what would be happening on multiplayer, with factions threatening the very existince of this delicately balanced planet. I mean, wouldn't it be cool to see a giant ball of fire in the sky that isn't a star, but a burning planet? Maybe if there are trace gases; Neon (red), Argon (blue), and Helium (yellow). Maybe when an EMP (new weapon) goes off (temporarily ruining your economy), the amount of these gases would depict the flash color when it goes off (I seriously have no idea how EMP's affect the surrounding area but this would be a neat little addition). (all of this is in the advanced panel, not forcing new players to give up because of confusion).

The Editor Itself
---------------------
I think that instead of this star automatically being there, it would be cool if there was nothing, and then you could place whatever you wanted. You could make some pretty cool stuff like Binary systems, Orphan Planets, and even stellar collisions. Also three dimensions would be nice for inclinated orbits.

Hope you take my suggestions and ideas into consideration!

What would be the point of a burning atmosphere?

And since all these units are robots as per PA lore, what would be the point of different chemicals in the atmosphere?

I agree that all of these crazy gases was a bit overkill, wasn't it?
