Little update, more coming later this day.
The picture shows the planetary info, derived from the usual Classic Battletech Data on any given planet, with some added info (planetary day, diameter).
For those interested in it, I'll explain the stuff a little.
Star Type is the Spectral Classification of the star, K3V means basically it's a Orange Dwarf (Main Sequence) Star (warning, basic knowledge only, learned this today). The recharge time is how long a jumpship needs to load it's reactor with solar energy before it can begin a jump.
Time to Jump Point is the time you need from the Planet with a Dropship to the Jumpship Jump-Point (obviously).
Recharge Station basically means whats the space station near the jump point (my guess here, I'm still new to this).
HPG-Class means which class the interstellar communications-equipment is. Class C means that every week once or twice the comm equipment will send a bundle of all collected "mail" to the next planetary relay station up to 50 parsec away. It's the 2nd lowest class.
Highest Native Life means - logically - the highest form of evolution from this planet before human settlers came.
Socio-Industrial level is a collection of 5 categories, each explained in short below:
1. First letter (D) stands for the Technical Sophistication, which here means Low-Tech world, equivalent to 21st century technology freely available.
2. Second letter (C) stands for Industrial Development, which here means Basic Heavy Industry, equivalent to 22nd century earth.
3. Third letter (C) stands for Raw Material Dependency, which here means self-sustaining.
4. Fourth letter (C) is Industrial Output, which here means Limited Output - limited export, but can care for itself.
5. Fifth letter (B) is Agricultural Dependence, which here means Abundant World - enough to sustain itself and enough to export food.
That's it for now. Map update coming later this day - hopefully.
