Starport Facilities: Your ship is docked, but what is there to see and do at the starport or close by? This tool generates a list of businesses and services based upon the UWP of a planet:

I like any tool thats keeps us from having to come up with names on our own. Thanks.

Cool, looks very useful! Thanks.

It would be great if the search could be triggered by pressing enter, not just by clicking the button.

Nice set of tools. Thank you for sharing.

I tried your military assets calculator, and I'm not sure what formula's you are using, but the numbers seem a bit excessive. I used a straight AAAAAAAA UWP profile and got the following:

Result - GWP per capita is: 33032.448
Population is: 20 billion
Total GWP is: 660.6 trillion
Military quality is: Expert well trained units with superior weapons. Battle hardened or well trained - a tough adversary.
Possess many weapons of higher tech levels. Equipment is well maintained and top-notch


LAND FORCES
Number of Mechanized units is: 6,233 Divisions(500 armored units each)
Infantry Units: 14,267 Army's (150,000 each) - infantry units.

INTERPLANETARY CRAFT
Interstellar Carriers: 92
Battle Cruisers: 2476
Destroyers: 4382
Frigates: 5491
Corvettes: 1201
System Patrol Boats: 5348

Surface Air craft and Nukes
Planet Air Craft: 2,388 Air Groups (216 air units each)
No Nukes

The financial numbers are within the realm of possibility (US GDP is $18.5 Trillion with a population of just 350 million). However your forces seem rather excessive. 2 billion infantry is like 10% of the population. That's huge. And the number of ships listed above is also huge. That size of military would be very expensive to support in peacetime. The US, with a much larger economy percentage wise, would have a very difficult time paying for a military of that size (both in support and people drain).

I'm curious about where you are getting your formulas.

Man, tough place to be a pirate. They’ve got that system COVERED!

While it doesn't generate starport facilities, you might get some ideas from my 1996 (reprinted 5/2013) Freelance Traveller article on starports.

Another thought - visit the website of a major airport and look at the businesses and services it promotes, both on the passenger services and on the commercial sides. Many of these won’t translate directly into a starport setting but they may give you some good ideas.
