Never said it was motion.. I can now confirm that Starting Rotate Y and Continual Rotation Vector Z are in the same direction. Setting a non-zero value for Starting Rotate Y rotates the planet around the axis normal to the system hex grid, same as having a Continual Rotation Vector with only Z portions. Why Aaron coded things this way is beyond me...

=0=

So, the coordinate system should look like this then?
