Agreed, a quick planet of the week kind of thing, without the system particulars such as orbits etc is fine. It is only if you want the details for any reason, that it would matter.
THE STARSHIP OWNER'S MANUAL had a section in there on determining flight time to a planet based upon where it was relative to the main world and the sun - THAT was a nice bit of detail back in the day. It was extra detail without too much extra work - pithy and nice

Ah well...
