The Great Grand-daddy of all gaming World Design
Systems is, of course, the World Tamer's Handbook, by
GDW for Traveller: The New Era.  The science types on
the list may quibble about the details thereof, but it
felt real and is detailed enough to run a role-playing
game on it.  Out of Print, of course.  But I happen to
have both a regular copy and a photocopy of the world
generation portion that I might be willing to let you
borrow and copy for yourself.  Bug me off-list.

GURPS: Traveller First In has a quick-and-dirty
system.  There's also one somewhere in the Classic
Traveller Reprints, in the first volume.  Not as good,
but more than adequate and with some info on
determining minimum tech levels.
