System Design

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 . Edmund
