World And System Generation

[Rebecca Ashling]

How have world and system generation changed? Does T5 now more accurately reflect more current planetological and astrophysical knowledge?

Only slight changes. It still uses Titus-Bode derived orbit numbers.. Changes in star type frequency, but still essentially Bk6.

I must confess to some disappointment on hearing that news But the rest of T5 sounds intriguing enough

For what it's worth, it is MUCH improved on the presentation side. There are additional body types. But some of the weirder stuff we've found isn't rolled in.

To be fair, a considerable amount of that "weirder stuff we've found" has been found since the files were written...

Like giant planets in companion orbits around their primary, frequent systems with multiple planets with orbits of fewer than 100 days (inside T5's Orbit 1), and brown dwarfs as primaries.

With more new stuff appearing constantly, it'd be hard for any author to keep up.
