Easter Egg Suggestion

I put this somewhere else before I found this: Playing Dangerous reminds me of Star Control 2. Oh, I'm not saying there's any comparison in terms of sophistication or gameplay--the similarity comes when I see names like Gruis, Aurigae, and Orionis. The names of real stars; something that Star Control and Dangerous have in common. Few other games ever did this. It made me nostalgic, and I thought, "There aren't enough exotic worlds in Dangerous." Specifically, I'd like to see Rainbow Worlds scattered around. I know, they don't really fit with Dangerous lore; they'd be clear tribute to another game, so I'm not suggesting they be common or easy to find. In fact, I think they should be scattered quite far, starting hundreds and ending one or two thousand light years past the edge of the inhabited galaxy. They shouldn't be around famous stars, either, though maybe consider following SC2 lore by putting them in close orbits around hot/giant stars. They should have a sizable payout, I'm thinking ~1/2 mil, for pilots who scan them. I think it'd also make a great contest. First to find any given rainbow world should receive a small credit (5 bucks or so) on the Dangerous store towards a paintjob of the pilot's choice (but only a paintjob; no need to shell out real money on physical merchandise). No expiration date, so if he's in say a Python, he can save it until Python paintjobs come out. Maybe the first to screenshot all of them should win a small cash prize. I also think any commander who finds one at all (first or not) should automatically unlock a paintjob for his ship based on what rainbow worlds looked like in SC2. Unrelated: I also think there should be more exotic phenomena in Dangerous, and a wider variety of spectacular sights. Polar jets from black hole accretion discs, that kind of thing. Hoping for it as the game development continues!
