Using planet models for backgrounds is a bad idea IMO.

You'd better use skyboxes :)

Skyboxes are huge mapped models that can usually replace background. When you play a subspace mission you can see a superb example of skybox.

Well the simplest and most effective one is "starfield.pof".

In FRED Open, go to Background ---> Skybox Model ---> write "starfield.pof" ;7

Where can I get Nico's f22 release ?

Oh, and if you insist on using planet models, then get them from Cardinal Spear. They might give texture troubles and kinda look like in Freelancer ( as in very small compared to the ships ). But at least you can get the effect of "too close to planet, taking damage" by naming them 'planet' in FRED2 .
