star = RND * 10 + RND * 10 + 1 
star_heat = (star * 50 / 10.5) + RND * 10 - 5 
climate = RND * 100 

Then put a MIN / MAX on star_heat of 0 and 100. 

Also, star heat should not determine planet climate as we assume that there is one inhabitable planet in a star system, which could be any distance away from the star. That distance may only change slightly depending on the orbit of the planet, but instead of going towards the heat of the star, it should just vary in a cycle +-10. The star type or heat doesn't change for millions of turns (and I don't want to play a game for that long), which would affect the planet. Terraforming a planet would take it away from its climate that is dependant on the distance from the star and the star heat, so a terraformed planet should tend to go back to its original climate.

(comment) If you remove all correlation between star type and planet temperature, why worry about star distribution? With this, the star type would be irrelevant to all but Solorian.
(response) As it should be, I think. Other races like the IMT may have some restrictions due to stars. Since they can supposedly move planets, they would effectively be moving the star also, so perhaps they should only be able to move stars with less gravity.
