Randomly Created Systems
« on: January 31, 2012, 06:57:22 PM »
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_world
and
http://donjon.bin.sh/scifi/name/#star
or 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?
Because Ceres is 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.

i'm mostly open to most anything :P
don't really know whats a high fantasy world, but anything is fine as long as it's at least slightly plausible

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.

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.

some rectangles qualify for squares. we can still call them rectangles

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.
