Obscure (?) Questions

[alien2]

Sorry for repeated questions. Maybe I'll be able to make a positive contribution in this forum one day. For the moment, I realise I probably haven't put in enough game hours but time is at a premium. Anyway, a few things that I'm not sure about:

1) Does the Demeanour setting in the Empire Description Window (during setup) have any effect on the game ??

2) Does the star type/age/luminosity have any effect on the makeup of the system ??

3) Is it possible to create a planet in a system which does not have a star, as long as there are asteroid fields ??

4) On the galaxy map, what distance does each grid square represent ?? I'm thinking for the purpose of opening a warp point.

5) If a repair component is added to a base, will it repair itself at the appropriate rate, should the base be damaged in action ??

Sorry to be a pain but any insight would be appreciated.

Cheers.
