Same as teh_poug, but I actually have done this... It isn't that great, and is more work than it is worth. Most of our collective ideas have to be done with mission operators, so it is pretty tedious.
I've also done what you have outlined, to quite a large extent... I modified the stafield to contain rocks and little bushes, disable the parallax starfield, changed the background, and made little clouds... It was simple, but not really that great. If you could have multiple starfields, it would rule, but as there is only one, it is not feasible to make a plugin using both space and land, without sacrificing some amount of eye-candy.
Such a plug could be fun, but it would get old after a bit.
