If this has been addressed else where sorry

I like all the world generators but I am in need of something a little different. Something useful for us and would also exist in the real Traveller Universe

A program that allows you to enter search parameters for types of worlds that you would be interested in.
These worlds would be the ones that
Scouts have found
Already exist
Would show last update for the records
May or may not have a sector map showing where they are
Be worlds that have been generated for OTU products and universe
May or may not have other scenarios associated with them
(The last two would not exist in the real Traveller universe

Does such a beast exist?
Would such a creature be something that others would be interested in?

I am interested for the following reasons:

I need a certain type of world for the adventure(s) I am planning (ongoing)
Players/Corps are looking for worlds for certain reasons
3I needs worlds for target practice, bases, staging operations, to send scouts to for updates
Thanks for your time

might be quicker and easier just to make your own.

also, recall that each listed system is not just the main world, but a full system with lots of other planets, gas giants, and other orbital objects. one need not go far to find what you've listed here.

a gas giant moon is bathed in van allen radiation belt and has never been explored. a recent solar flare has pushed back the van allen belt, leaving the moon habitable to humans for a few days.

a planet-sized comet is returning insystem, it hasn't been investigated for seven centuries.

a red-zone planet with a significant population and culture has decided to open up to outsiders for the first time.

a non-human generation ship the size of an asteroid has been located.

imagination is the only limit.

Been making my own worlds for some time.
Thanks.

But am looking for a listing via search engine (if you can call it that) that I could say

List worlds that have an atmosphere of 4-8, non corosive, 40%+ hydro and size 6 or bigger

List worlds that have ag and high pops, size 4-6 with 30% or less hydro

Thats the kind of thing that I was thinking

And then when you click on the listed results you would get more information

well, if the data base exists, it would be a piece of cake to whip up a text-processor or gui that would do what you're asking. don't know if the db exists, and it would be quite an effort to type it up all by hand if it doesn't.

somebody probably has one somewhere, but I've never heard anyone mention it.

At one point, I entered all the sunbane data in an excel sheet. It was readily searchable.

If you have a smaller area, it works better. However, here's what I did:
import from space delimited text
Each item is one excel col
Name col row SP Siz Atm Hyd Pop Gov Law TL Base Tz Tcstr
One can then sort or hide or show based upon any range in any stat. One could just as easily do so with Filemaker or Bentō. Or even MS Works or appleworks (SS or DB).

Universe allows raw SQL searches. Although there is no click through to show the results graphically from the SQL, once you have a target system you can return to the main window and navigate to it.

My text editor of choice has regular expression search capability.

I've also been known to code regexps in perl scripts explicitly for searching the Sunbane data. And TML posts for that matter.

Would be nice to put that kind of tool up on the web... not hard either, at least for UWPs... hmmm.
