By about 6mm, IIRC.

Re: [Space] System Generator
Me too ignant to follow completely. But blast it. I... want... all... your... systems'... results!
Though when going through numerous random rolling creations, I did come upon the most improbable sytem imaginable. Four earth type planets habitable to unprotected humans in a G2/G2/G2 star system, only one marginal atmosphere due to hazardous biologicals. Naturally, I named it "Bonanza". Any idea just how unlikely my rolls were? |

As for sequencing, I say do all the moons - it saves kludgy namings when some insignificant rockball suddenly becomes a big deal down the road because someone puts a highly successful casino on it.

Or simply places to crash. Close enough to see a garden world, but stranded on Podunk Dustball 3. |

A simple number of moonlets with proper listing for major moons seems the best choice for gaming printouts. Especially since moonlets are often temporary things of which even large space stations might qualify. Bonanza was a very strange set of rolls with no fudging on my part. One of the tow on the cold side of the habitable zones even had thicker than normal atmospheres rendering it even more comfortable for humans. |

b) All moons please. I don´t care whether letters or numerals. c) Couldn´t the space for Hydrographics be shortened by using abbreviations like H²O or W and HC ? This would create space to show Mass and Density. IMO it´s interesting whether we find something with Density 3 or Density 7. d) Would it be possible to say not just - for example - Thin atmosphere, but give the pressure as a number as well ? If necessary, I would even prefer the number. |
