Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

I didn't mean anything fancy; just add text. E.g.

Gamma Pavonis (30.1 light years from Earth)

would become

Gamma Pavonis (F6V, 30.1 light years from Earth, Garden)

That click is a deal breaker for people that might want to use your sight to hand pick habitable systems. It's not just one extra click, it's a click and a scroll down, followed by a reasonable effort so as not to accidentally miss the possible Garden Planet in a list--repeat several times until you get lucky and find one with a garden world.

Don't get me wrong: your site is excellent. If you don't care about making it useful to people who just want to hand pick garden world systems--or at least find them at a glance--then I wouldn't worry about it. But right now you have only nine stars; if you think you might want to add this information to the "Star Systems" listing, I'd add it now rather than later.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

I'm not quite sure I want to single out systems with garden planets generated, since I mean, on Gamma Pavonis itself, there are 8 other planets there with different uses. I mean, some people will see Alpha Centauri B and think nothing about the planets, but about the asteroid belts that have better than average mineral wealth.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

Then mention that too. The long term problem is that if you roll up systems you end up with lots of M stars with nothing interesting orbiting them. If you then can see on a (by then) much longer list of stars which 10% are worth clicking at that will be a significant help.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

I see where you are going with this, but the fact remains that I am not creating a list of stars that are of "interest." I am statting out the stars that are progrssively further away from Sol :).

EDIT: Maybe something like this could be accomplished by some kind of mouse-over effect where it shows you what are in the orbits when you mouse-over on the main page, but I dont really see any practical way to do a quick peek that would make anyone happy, myself included.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

A significant number of GM's and players want to know if a star system has a habitable planet--any other interests are frequently a distant second. (This is why GURPS Space has rules to generate planets and star systems that assume at the outset that a garden planet is present.) I assume, since you're making your significant efforts available to all, you'll want to make it as user friendly as reasonably possible. I assure you that most people would like to know at a glance which of those star systems have garden planets. For some people, it will be more important than its distance from Earth. E.g. some people will just drop them into a campaign and won't care what real star it's based on.

Is your intention is that people "purchase the entire album" and not just "buy a few singles"?

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

Actually, the intent was to share what I have done, and keep doing what I was doing :) (since selling what I had done would be explicitly against the Creative Commons license :P). I am doing it like this since I am making a TL 10 setting and what I was doing was what I had in mind for the setting. I may create some generic garden-based systems later on, but not until I have expanded to the nearby stars from about 20 light-years from Sol. Once I have that done, then I will branch out.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

Got it. But, you also said:
My feedback is that fewer people will enjoy if they have to access each system in order to find the 10% - 20% they find useful. Of course, you don't owe anybody anything and what you've delivered thus far is definitely cool.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

Is this:

adequate?

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

Hey, that's perfect!

If I might make a further suggestion. If I get to a planet via a link following a search, I can see all the planet info just fine. However, there is no link from that planet page that takes me to the planet's parent-star-system page.

Re: [SPACE] Star Generation
 

How did you take account of the effect on the planet's orbits when the central star lost 10% to 60% of its mass in its supernova explosion?
