take a look in your .../Program Files (x86)/Stardock Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/Textures/... stargreen.dds is the star texture that you hate... choose one of the other ( staryellow, starred, starblue .dds ) and copy it to your desktop... rename the chosen one "stargreen.dds" and move it back to the textures directory... A other way is to open stargreen.dds in Gimp ( or photoshop ) and play with the colors>color_balance... this will allow you to create the star color that

In fact, virtually, you have no limit...
