UWP Changes

[far-trader]

Not really sure where else to propose this, maybe MTU ideas, but anyway this seems the one place it might have a chance at making a difference. Not that it's likely to gain any acceptance I guess. Feel free to add other UWP clarification/change ideas here too.

Mine has come about in discussion of the jump limit and world mass, gravity and such.

Would it make sense to rename the Size code as Mass code maybe? It would relate to Size code for worlds with standard (Earth) density only. So for example a Mass code 8 world could be Earth diameter and density, or it could be smaller and denser. In both cases the surface gravity would be the same as would the jump points based on gravity and distance.

Rather than limit the referee to a certain size just explain that the Mass code does not define the diameter of the world, only it's mass and hence the local gravity.

One nice benefit about this approach, it gets rid of the last vestige of imperial measure in the UWP

Additionally, and more importantly, it will relate jump limits to gravity which will make a lot of people happy. That could be done with tables as suggested elsewhere or simply keep the old 100d and 10d but redefine them as perhaps 100 or 10 times the Mass code times 1000km (or more).
