I started an excel today with random systems, but i need some help. If you could look at my Planets, and their SMA, would you suggest a resonable star spectral type and luminosity?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AipV2b8UWK3pdEFyY01ocTJaN1FFTmc5Z0RWbWM0c1E
it's on google docs
Or if you want to add a system, just fill out all the fields and post it here, i'll add it in if it sounds right... names from http://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/name/#scifi_worldand http://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/name/#staror make them up yourself while keeping within reason. my excuse for the very random names is that in the future, most of the galaxy is owned by several million elite superrich rulers that claim planets and all that stuff.(GM)=gigameter=million kilometers |

Yes, how the hell is a Ceres sized object an asteroid?

an asteroid can be a dwarf planet
just like squares are rectangles.
that is all.
now what star class seems resonable

I'm going to try adding a system. Stand back I'm doing science.
Before I do stuff, this system I have in mind Is like a High Fantasy world, like Lord of the Rings for example. Is this allowed? It's fine if you say no.

Heh, I'm working on one myself! Except it only includes Aeridani Systems.

I would, except I don't really like the idea of a few people ruling most of the galaxy.

For habitable systems, anywhere from low class F all the way to class K9 (pun not intended), M class stars are a bit iffy due to the whole tidal locking issue. |

A sphere shouldn't be an asteroid. Just like a square is only similar to a rectangle. |

A sphere shouldn't be an asteroid. Just like a square is only similar to a rectangle. Well, Ceres is very close to the minimum mass needed for an object to go spherical under its own gravity, Vesta and Pallas (the second and third largest, respectively) are about a quarter the size and mass (used wiki for quick reference) and are lumpy not-quite spheres, so it gets fuzzy at that zone. |

But still, some of the asteroids would qualify as a dwarf planet.

I basically just said that. Also, in geometry, a square ALWAYS has equal sides, but lets stop arging semantics here since it is a fuzzy zone of uncertianty that will always be there. Until some commission decides that if N mass is equal to or greater than x, it's a dwarf planet. |

I redid the first row and froze it, Redid the column widths, Redid the text sizes, reformatted everything, added a new column, and stuff.

me: ?
Trillions
Where can I get a definition of each of the stages of terraforming?
RCSpaaace: oh
i'll write it up
basically
stage 0 is nothing
N/A is not applicable
me: ok
RCSpaaace: stage I is breathable atmosphere
stage II is gravity, atmosphere and water
stage III is all of the above plus plant life
stage IIII is all life, plant animal
fully sustainable |
