Just a note here, as someone who has, as they say, "been there".... I only 
do this (but, yes, I do do exactly this) on a planetary scale, not an
interplanetary or, heaven forbid, galactic... but the biggest worry here is 
repetitiveness. I can circumvent it on a planetary scale, as there are
multiple climates and geographies, and it tends to give a given planet a
certain native feel... but just barely, and not if I don't manage a little
more out of my generation algorithms...

And I only get paid the big bucks for ... um ... quite frankly, I don't. 
Not since I quit working DoD contracts. *sigh*
