[Space] Habitability and Gravity

Agemegos · 03-17-2010, 09:21 AM

A player generating a character for my upcoming SF game asked me what ranges of gravities his character is likely to have experienced.

So I generated ten thousand star systems using the GURPS Space advanced star system generation sequence, and out of each system I recorded the habitability and gravity of the highest-habitability world in each system (if there were several with equally highest Habitability, I recorded the highest surface gravity).

Code:

                  GRAVITY in gees
Hab.    # planet  min.  ave.  max.

 -2          7    0.05  0.20  0.88
 -1         11    0.07  0.18  0.40
  0      8,920    0.00  0.40  2.82
  1         32    0.43  0.78  1.44
  2         78    0.47  0.75  1.44
  3         91    0.43  0.79  1.57
  4        154    0.44  0.77  1.70
  5        237    0.49  0.79  1.28
  6        212    0.49  0.80  1.44
  7        204    0.50  0.82  1.09
  8         54    0.75  0.94  1.19

  4+       861    0.44  0.80  1.70
