Hopefully, once I find some time to put a couple of textures together.

I'm not sure what formula you've used, but here are some altered values:

Moon distance = 14.6 radii from surface (69817.2 km)
Moon mass = 9.072537874*10^21 kg
Moon radius = 798.68 km
Moon density = 4251.3 kg/m^3

What would the tidal forces/apparent size be for those values?

1) You don't say if the moon is 'large' like our Earth's moon. I'd say if the moon is more massive than 1/75,000th the planet's mass, then I'd call it 'large' because it'll raise tides more strongly than our Earth's moon does here. At identical density to its planet, such a moon would have a diamet...

I've been working on a system over the past week or so, and I think I have one figured out, but due to my lack of knowledge regarding these things, I would like someone to check my figures to see whether the system is stable and whether my world would actually be able to support life.
