True, Traveller may be ignoring the possibilities of a completely space based society in a system. On the other hand, try to find a copy of "Outcasts of the Heaven Belt". This novel deals with such a society 50+ years after a a war. Their tech level is rapidly dropping due to loss of skills and resources during the war. And they are getting pretty nasty, as factions try to keep *their* habitats going. Planets are only necessary if you need to be able to have survivors after a major "oops!". The minimum tech level that will allow life on a habitable planet is 0. The minimum for a space colony is higher than *our* current level! Say at least 9. This has grave consequences.
