I would like a variety of world types, if we are crashing on an outer planet who knows what the environment may be like, I would like to see a range of environments (and available resources) to work with.
Ion Storm Planet
Difficult to communicate with trade ships.
Pirate Sector
Trading attracts pirates to your planet.
Toxic Soil
Plants have to be grown hydroponically
Hostile fauna
Has hostile critters that you need to worry about (though i hear they make excellent steaks )
Oxygen Rich Atmosphere
Things are more likely to catch fire.
Fertile/Toxic Soils
Plants grow faster/slower.
etc, etc
