The idea is to have the planets (and other objects) of a star system obviously visible no matter the distance between them and the craft. If you're far enough from the planet, it would be visible as a larger dot or blurred point of light colored by the main color of that planet (red for Cylero, blue for Droo etc.), instead of just a pixel or two.

Something even better would be to not only have this for planets, but for crafts as well, so you can (for example) see your space station as a bright white dot from the surface of Droo.
