What follows is my attempt to:
1) Make the POP roll more dependent upon the physical attributes of a world.
2) Make the Starport, Naval Base, and Scout Base rolls dependent upon local system TEC.
3) Make the Gas Giant roll more dependent on system physical features.
4) Add a Ps (Psionics) rating to the trade classification system.
POPULATION (Based on Terrestrial Standard for humans):
1) POP = 2D - (((ABS(SIZ - 8) + ABS(ATM - 6) + ABS(HYD - 7)) / 3) - 1)
2) Round each fraction to its nearest integer.
Note: SIZ, ATM, HYD, and POP belong to the colony world. POP may be as high as B with this system on worlds with the same physical attributes as the colonizing species' home world.
TECH LEVEL (Canon):
1) TEC = 1D + DMs as follows.
2) DM for STP A is +6; B is +4; C is +2; X is -4.
3) DM for SIZ 0 or 1 is +2; for SIZ 2, 3, or 4 is +1.
4) DM for ATM 0 to 3; for ATM A to E is +1.
5) DM for HYD 9 is +1; for HYD A is +2.
6) DM for POP 1 to 5 is +1; for POP 9 is +2, and POP A is +4.
7) DM for GOV 0 and GOV 5 is +1; for GOV D is -2.
TECH LEVEL (IMTU):
1) TEC = 1D + 1 + DMs as follows.
2) (Deleted)
3) DM for SIZ 0 or 1 is +2; for SIZ 2, 3, or 4 is +1.
4) DM for ATM 0 to 3; for ATM A to E is +1.
5) DM for HYD 9 is +1; for HYD A is +2.
6) DM for POP 1 to 5 is +1; for POP 9 is +2, and POP A is +4.
7) DM for GOV 0 and GOV 5 is +1; for GOV D is -2.

· Spaceports are type F, G, and H; can be found on the main world if local TEC is 7; and can be found on other worlds of the same system only if local TEC is 8+.
· Starports are type A, B, C, D, and E; can be found on the main world if local TEC is 8+; and can be found on other worlds of the same system only if local TEC is 9+.
· Type 0 means that the local TEC level is insufficient for constructing either a spaceport or a starport, and that neither has yet been constructed.
· Type X means that the local TEC level is sufficient for a starport, and that one has not yet been constructed.
· Type Y means that the local TEC level is sufficient for a spaceport, and that one has not yet been constructed.

This procedure gives the same results as the canonical procedure, and includes the possibility of a POP-8 world having psionic activity. It also allows for known psionic activity to be included in a world's UPP (at the referee's discretion, of course).
A POP-8 world has a 2.78% chance of having a Psionic Institute.
A POP-9 world has a 8.33% chance of having a Psionic Institute.
A POP-A world has a 16.7% chance of having a Psionic Institute.
A POP-B world has a 27.8% chance of having a Psionic Institute.
