Played the game a bit over the weekend, and wondering about some things...

...I only played at a friends place, so I didn't waste my time reading his manual (although I read the one on this page this morning, is it the same ?), so forgive me if some of my questions are answered there.
a) After a while of playing, I had some planets that finished all they social projects, and built "nothing". I couldn't take the social slider down, because I had other planets still busy building things. Is there any way not to have those planets "idle" and waste ressources while waiting for slower planets to catch up ? Like, set the social project to "help military project" ?
I played with a giant map, and wondered - are starbases supposed to be nearly useless at those maps ? I would need like 10,000 constructors just to cover my empire with the basics. I loved using bases in my first game that I played on the setting below medium, because I only needed like 3 or 4 bases to cover my entire "empire", but that seemed just impracticable in a giant sized map.
c) My funny little explorer vessel from the start ended out with 60! defense, but only like 10 or 12 offense. I saw that theres upgrades for both in anomalies, but are they that unevenly distributed, or was that a bug ? I had it on auto explore so I don't know if the defense growed slowly or suddenly jumped there.
d) Even with habitable planets set to maximum, I still get way more grey stars then white ones. Bug or feature ?
