1. Thankyou for posting the variant basic system. I agree with your basic
principles, but I haven't had time to try it out for real.  I would
certainly be interested in any changes you make to the system.

2. I like the 'basic system' idea.  It is enough to start developing a
world from, and allows for creativity and flexibility, plus providing
inspiration for world detail in the first place.  If your system produces
more reasonable results most of the time then this is fine by me: less
hassle working out explanations for improbable results every 3rd system or
whatever, as you suggest.

3. I don't use extended system generation, so star type doesn't worry me.
But maybe you could add generation of an appropriate stellar type to your
system, purely as an extension for 'feel', to go with gas giants,
asteroids, bases etc.
