I'd consider this pretty on-topic for Classic Traveller, _CT_. In my opinion, the expanded
generation system presented in Book 6 doesn't work all that well. The overriding size DM
that come from the star tend to produce a lot of tiny vacuum worlds and worlds with low
atmosphere in general. Also, converting a real planetary system to CT's book 6 notation
isn't really hard. Finally, I'd like to see a system that didn't punt on orbital distances
and instead used some sort of simplified mass-resonance system to determine orbital
distances.
