I admit its possible for people to live on less than ideal worlds with eve's level of technology. What i find surprising is the number of planets that haven't been terraformed. I suppose it is possible that its more energy efficient to just build domes than to change the climate of an entire planet 
We're struggling to produce enough food for 6 billion people, where do they grow the food for several trillion (or more) people that inhabit the eve universe if there aren't many habitable worlds? If its grown in domes it becomes a matter of space. You need a certain amount of land set aside for crops and livestock. If the inhabitants of eve are living in domed cities is the surface area reserved for crops and the people live underground?
either the population of new eden is a lot less than i imagined or there is a massive unseen logistics effort happening from somewhere...

Or CCP used a random number generator for planetary attributes and never went back to apply a bit of realism/logic to them.

I think you could safely expand your gravity tolerance, anywhere from 0.5 G to 1.5 G or even 2.0G should be reasonably habitable. Also, colder planets would be perfectly habitable (though not necessarily conducive to evolution). I would say anything with an Average Temp >-25C would have at least habitable zones.
I'm going to have to disagree on the gravity aspect.
While it would well within the realms of the technology of eve to terraform a planet to bring it closer to the atmospheric conditions we enjoy on earth. It's pretty impossible to change the gravity of a planet. There are serious medical conditions to consider.
If the gravity is too weak you get tall willowly people with weak bones and poor muscles. If the gravity is too strong you risk premature heart failure and serious injury. If you fall over in 2G (19.6 m/s^2) you hit the floor twice as hard.
That's for someone born and raised here. Someone born and raised on a planet with 2.0 G would have stronger muscles and bones which would counter the greater gravity and living in .5g would cause weaker muscles and bones but then they would be sufficient for the gravity of that planet. The only time problems occur is when going to a planet of different gravity. If it has more gravity you would have problems walking and tire more quickly while going somewhere with less gravity would cause you to be too strong and end up jumping really high really easily like astronauts on the moon did.
Think of it similar to changing altitudes and the effect air density has on you. Move to a higher altitude and you will have trouble breathing at first but eventually you will adapt and be able to breath just fine. Then when going back to a lower altitude you will be able to take in more oxygen than most people there but will eventually readjust to the higher oxygen density.

*** Breaking news ***
The Earth explode with the sun.
*** EoBreaking news ***
See the age of stars, compare with age of the universe, compare with the life the sun will live.
Sorry :)

Jove is Jupiter - ask any science Fiction fan - so the jovians must have been from our Solar system - by Jove ! doesn't everybody know that
