I think it might be fun to create T2K characters with the Mongoose Traveller system. On the other hand, if you're shooting for a particular type of character, it might be very frustrating. In particular, it might be a lot harder to roll up SF-type characters. IMHO, that might not be such a bad thing.

I don't think the Traveller combat system is going to work very well for T2K.

I wish there could be a hybrid- The original T2K timeline (v1.0, of course); the T2013 Relfex combat system (with some slight mods), and the Traveller char-gen system.

Rae,

You and me both, obviously.

I'll have a look at M:T Mercenary when I can, see if the character generation allows for more flexibility. Presumably any T2K sourcebooks might add detail as well. A 2d6-based system seems to conform to a gaming industry belief that simplicity and ease of play are paramount, a view that has a lot to recommend it even if I don't personally agree.
