I have two questions.

1.) Is there a way to manually adjust the Z axis of planets and stars?  I am trying to make a map that has only one  star, but has other stars within the one stars radious that the nearby planets are "orbiting."  However when you load the map the star appears way above or below the planets it's supose to be around.  

2.)  Has anyone been able to turn the star into a planet?  not a cononizable one, but have it be an object like a gas cloud or somthing.  My goal is to have a map were there are multipl star systems, but the sytems are all connected by planets, not the stars.
