Semantic change

I am making a semantic change to the rules regarding Lunar Orbits. Currently a small moon takes up half an orbit and a medium moon takes up one orbit with a large moon taking up two orbits.
To simplify the rules I am removing the fractional orbit by doubling all Lunar Orbit numbers. That means small moons now take up one lunar orbit, medium moons take up two and large moons take up four. Furthermore, all planets double their number of lunar orbits and the captured moon special grants two additional lunar orbits instead of one.
Game balance is not affected at all by this change, it merely makes the rules easier to understand. For example, currently a planet can have 2 lunar orbits, but 3 moons - with this new change, this will never be the case.
If there are no objections, I will make the change on the Wiki later this evening or tomorrow morning.

I am in need of an icon to identify Lunar Orbits. I was thinking about this one and am curious to hear your opinions and idea's:

It's not really in the same style.
Do we have a list of new icons we need? I can look into it this weekend, and make a bunch of new icons we need.
(iirc we had a open todo for this?)

Ah yes -- I missed that one; saw things like fix ugly 27x27 icons.
Will get to this tomorrow.

I've put in some work for the icons:
System building things:
and some orbit-related icons:
Comments are welcome, of course.
PS. As usual, I have updated user:brend:icons with these new icons.
(@Mercury: you can update the fwurgicons plugin for the wiki; this instantly gives you the new icons in the wiki. You need to do your magic trick to get them into the forum -- I don't know how to (and probably can't) fix that)
System building things:
- Gas Mass:
- Rock Mass:
- Bio Mass:
- Special point:
and some orbit-related icons:
- Cold Orbit:
- Goldilocks Orbit:
- Hot Orbit:
- Lunar Orbit:
Comments are welcome, of course.

The new icons look awesome! I have updated the plug-in and loaded them up on the forum as well, so they should be fully operational now!
The reason I need them is that I am working on the System Builder and I am lacking in space somewhat, so having these icons will help a lot at putting as much information in as readable a format as possible.
