Galaxy File Format
Has anyone compiled a list and structure rules yet?

After some tinkering with both random and designed maps in the editors (and their .galaxy text files), I was wondering if anyone knew of (or had compiled) a list of valid entries and their formats for .galaxy files.
Ultimately I would like to combine elements from static stars and planets, and elements from the random generator inside the same .galaxy file. I am unsure right now of what format to follow for ring and planet placement. I do not want to use GalaxyForge as it isn't random enough, and I definitely need better control than what the random generator provides.
One attempt I made involved setting up a random galaxy (one star) the way I wanted, and then trying to add static elements to it via hand-editing. The game tends to crash when trying to access that .galaxy file afterwards however.
Thanks in advance..
