This week my suggestions are:
- EQing is a bit weak on lows, maybe a bit more emphasis or some bass richer sound would help;
- You can turn up the gain on master, the track seems to peak mostly at -36/-48db;
- Some more chorus or reverb would help to fatten a bit the sounds, maybe try also some tape or normal saturation.

Now I'm gonna listen it again and enjoy the Birth of a star from space.

The choice of timbres itself is very lovely! But some more bass would be fun. I think it's not required for this genre/sound, but still good to hear. If you think some bass would be nice, but don't want to focus the listener on it, then you could double one instrument at a lower octave with a different sound. This works best if you sequence/record MIDI.

For the bass, I may need to find a plugin, that HAS to be possible.
Lots of things will do. Yoshimi can do nice basses, with the filter cutoff very low. Otherwise any old virtual analogue synth plugin can be useful. For purely functional sub-bass, somethng like a sawtooth oscillator with the filter cutoff very low is a good start. I think there was wysyth or whysynth? Or Helm might do... Maybe there is a MiniMoog emulator. If those are halfway decent they will bring lots of bass.
As far as the reverb goes...you're right. I was a tee too shy to pull all the stops on that one

I'd like some more low end and more reverb, especially on the bright sounds, to make them seem farther away.

Greate space music!

I like them all, even saw Kitaro live once, but Sturzer is a new name to me. Have to check them out!

I've also done some space music before, maybe you'll like it: https://energostatic.bandcamp.com/album ... of-antares
