Why I don't overly worry about system generation

In one of the space groups an astronomer said: "It's all so different, we don't know the rules."

if it has a non-zero probability, then it exists in an infinite universe.

but yeah, we've no idea what is really out there. always neat to see these things (and since I click on these, along with cat memes, my newsfeed tends to steer that way). and to repeat the title of the thread - why I don't worry about system generation. And leaning to it is not strange enough now!

It kind of opens things up for a GM to make that one (or one more) unusual world. Because if there is at least on in RL, there just has to be one in Traveller!

I did not know about the stellar snow line - maybe add some gravity skiing

from the article: "For the first time, astronomers have witnessed the early stages of snow formation surrounding a developing star, indicating the point at which planets begin to develop an icy coating. Observations of these types allow astronomers to understand more about how gases, dust, and ices interact within the planet-forming environments of other stars"
