You'd think that would be an option, but I've never added support for it.

Rotation periods are extracted from the Data files and I added a special action called rotationperiod...
Code:
<Action>rotationperiod=faceparent</Action>
...but faceparent is the only parameter it currently accepts.

Sorry about that... I've added it to the list of features to add to the upcoming version.

If you use the <Object> property and then override all the other attributes it will have the rotation period of the body specifed in <Object> (assuming this object has a rotation value in LocalObjects.xml or Stars.xml).

Can you in the current version change a stars color? Or does it not work?

Do the spectral types do anything? There is a code for it.

Not everything in the data files are used by Universe Sandbox, but it was so much easier to just go ahead and add that data now rather than try to add it in the future if I decided I needed it.

No... I don't think the spectral types are used at the moment.
