Beyond the spaceship, from nearest to furthest one would assume the objects would be: mineable asteroids, distant decorative asteroids, planet, stars.

However upon closer inspection, the order is: mineable asteroids, stars, planets, distant asteroids.

- Stars can appear in front of the planet when you are arriving/departing
- Distant/decor asteroids are displayed as behind the planets

Thanks

This is not a bug. Having those asteroids be in front of planets looks absolutely terrible and so we put them behind.

Fair enough but that still leaves stars displaying in front of planets.
