Do you need a better moon distribution formula ? I think I can improve the first version I made.

I think all the ones you gave me, i played around with them enough to get them to 95%+ accurecy
Orbiting Moons
...
Some graph won't be easy (impossible?) to create from a math formula esp. moon distance (with gaps) or grade moon inclination...
Why not use hard coded arrays cause you seem to have exported values in a graph app ?
for instance: float f[] = {y1, y2, y3, ... };
Then you could retrieve the value doing linear/bilinear interpolation between the y values (a class could handle these features).
The accuracy would be much better as the resulting value will rely on real data instead of math formula.

I am trying to avoid that as much as much as possible. A cure is much more naturalistic then a plot, and over time plots become extremely evident.
One of the things I have be playing around with is taking multiple formulas and combining them in to a single one. The original graph was really 2 graphs using distance to find the location. The new graphs are all percentages or probability.
For the moons it turns out (if you looked as the second graph) that there is a consistent void region that exist from the moons that are grade vs. retro. On the part that is close to the planet, all the moons follow the rotation, away from the planet, it is the exact opposite. The reason for this is incredibly oblivious once you think about it. Most if not all moons are captured bodies. The moons that are the farthest away are captured Trojan asteroids. Well it turn out that the closer the moon gets, (and for larger planets it will happen) there is additional drag on the moon that is going retro to the rotation. This basically means the those moons have to maintain a minimum distance before the moon gets too close and the drag, make the moon plummet into the planet. For the closer moons, it turns out that because there is less drag, they can cope much better closer into the planet. Then this leave the question why are there not more moons at grade then retro on the outside of that gap. This turns out to be simple as well. The Trojan’s that orbit at the L4 and L5 points are rotation around those points at grade, but just like two wheels when the other takes hold (via gravity in this case) the new path is exactly opposite of the first. So the reason ends up being that 90+% off all the moons are going to start off in the opposite direction. Finally what does this mean in the end? Simple there are 3 curves. One for the grade. Starting off with a high probability close to the planet, the second one, is retro which has a high probability toward the outside and nil close to the plant. And finally the void gap which is the more of less the probability of finding anything there at all.
Hope that all made sence.
