We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Well, the data is stored somewhere - you can calculate it at run time, or go through and calculate it in an automated sweep. Either way, no person is going to do the work (though they will have to write the code that does the work)

I did a little sniffing around the code; please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like most systems are randomly generated, but they always use the same seed, making sure that the planets are always the same. Sol seems to have its own generation file, as do a few other systems.
I was hoping to write a little routine to extract the data, but it looks like it might just be easier to add a couple file-access lines to UQM: right after it generates info for a planet, append that info to a file (in some format). If the planets don't get generated until you visit them, kludge the switches so that they all think you're visiting them...
