I view skills as a good mechanism for developing character background, so am quite happy to have plenty like this that have no likely use in a game situation.

That's how I view them also.

I was wondering why Robotics was listed under Space Science instead of say Physical Science?

Has that been already explained somewhere else?

Depends on the robot and where/how it's manufactured.

I have actually gone for simpler and more generic rather than more specific. Most Travellers are not going to be world famous nuclear physicists.

I use ONE science skill, with each of the MGT sciences as a specialty. Generalists don't need to go much further than that.

So I have:

Science (Life, Physical, Space, Social)

Your Math skill (if needed) is equal to your highest level of Science skill (since they all use Math).

Should you really need to get much more specific than that (such as running a science game) then obviously this won't work, but for a bunch of people wandering through the universe that is good enough.
