I have it and I've read it, but I haven't done a lot of playing with it.
It's very similar to Classic Traveller:
- nearly all die rolls are 2d6, beat a 7 with modifiers, of course.
- semi-random lifepath character generation. That is, you pick a career and roll to see how you do, and what skills and goodies you pick up. With very few adjustments, this could be made to fit the T2k background.
I don't feel confident to comment on how the combat works, the few times I tried playing with it, the GM was house-ruling a lot of it. Reading through it, it seemed to cover a lot of similar ground. It's supposed to be somewhat deadly, so that's somewhat a plus in T2k.
I'm intrigued by the concept, and wouldn't mind messing with it, if I had a group. To be honest, the 2300AD setting applied to this ruleset appeals to me more than T2k.
