I thought that Gas giants are as frequently found as rocks
There are fewer Gas Giants, but none of them are smaller than Medium.
People have worked out the distribution of the type/atmosphere combos before; lemme see if I can find an old thread...

Here we go:
In the thread
How many people set their OWN planet type to Ice??

Facil is the # of facilities you can fit onto the planets.
Num is the actual number.
Avg is the average # of facilities per planet.
Size is a breakdown of # found by size (tiny, small, medium, large, huge).
...and Spyder broke that down further:

Gas Giants 48
Ice Planets 65
Rock Planets 112
Carbon Dioxide 50
Hydrogen 50
Methane 50
Oxygen 50
None 25
Huge 45
Large 45
Medium 45
Small 45
Tiny 45
