In other words the stars won't stay in those orbits. The system will turn into a mixmaster.
Star e isn't in orbit around a, it's in orbit around b, I was simply using distance from a as a yard stick (since it's a fixed position for the purpose of these calculations)

But I get the idea, I need to move the orbits further out. I think the simplest solution will be to increase the separation multiplier on c, increasing it to *4 works nicely and increasing the orbit of g around f by 50%, epically as I had mucked up before and was using minimum separation when I should have been using maximum separation
