I have written a tool to move worlds around in the .xy file, this is because Universe Creator didn't allow fine tuning of planet locations. It also allows chaning names of worlds (within limits).
Ron has put Map2XY.zip up on the AutoHost download page http://library.southern.edu/stars/kn2050.htm (this url will change soon)
This is from Map2XY.txt included in the .zip
Map2XY will take a .xy file and a .map file and modify the .xy file to match the .map file.
Names can be changed, but only to another name in the planets.txt file, duplicate names are not allowed. Do not modify the planets.txt file at all, the names really come from Stars!.exe so modifying it without modifying Stars!.exe will only confuse things.
Planet # cannot be changed at all, and, in the final universe, no planet may have an x value that is lower then the prior planet, they may be equal.
y values can be in any order it seems.
There seems to be a limit on y position to the limit of the game size, so for a huge you can't set y to 3000 or more.
There is probably a similar limit for x.
It has not been extensivly tested, so be sure to back up your .xy file before using.
