I have a question about star system design ??????

1) When you roll for the number of orbits a system has is the result
the total number (ie roll 7, orbits 0 - 6 are used) or the number (Roll 7
0-7 orbits used) .

2) When rolling for primary star, if the plaent has a pop of 8, and
and atmos of 4-9, chances are the star will be dwarf, thus the world
have a breathable atmos of -200 degrees . This is stupid, how do I change it ?

3) When placing the companion star, what does the book mean . EG I rolled a
10, the result being (I think) 5 + 1D6 . I rolled a 5 . So the companion
star is in orbit 10???????? . The book then said Star A will have orbits 0-4,
Star B + orbit 12+, Star B orbits 0-5 . Does this mean orbits 0-4 around
A will be used, then at orbit 10 the companion star exists, around it, it
has its own orbits of 0-5 . WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, can someone please explain
this system to me ??????

4) When rolling up other worlds in the system, I get these strange paradox's
Ie A world (not the main world) oftens ends up having a pop anywhere up to
6 levels higher than the mainworld . ie mainworld has pop of 4, another
world in the system has a pop of 8, and its not the mainworld ????? . This
happens alot when the mainworld is orbiting a large gas giant in a habitible
zone . Should I assume that the mainworld has the highest pop, so any rolls
I get the pop of those planets can never exceed the mainworld pop by more
than mainworlds pop - 1 level ????????

5) Using the world builders handbook I have yet to actually get a world
(with standard atmos) with a comfy temp range . Its usually either -50 degs
of 70+ .


Pulease can I have comments on this . I dont care how many people respond
but please respond if you have a way of solving it .
