For Mass Effect biotics, I would add those implant devices, and have them provide some Psy points. Give implants a short recharge time, probably just a few minutes. Or if you prefer, take a full round action to recharge them. Whichever feels better to you. Shields are not difficult either -...

You could view the necessity of J-2 as a "level up" opportunity. Put the players in one of the clusters, and they can't get out without upgrading their ship. Or if they don't have a ship, finding a ship that can and will leave the cluster.

Search for "Newts". "Bwap" is a slang term, probably racist, used by Imperials. They call themselves "Bawapakerwa-a-a-awapawab" http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Bwap

Comparing the RPGNow preview with my copy of the T20 materials, they are nearly identical, content-wise, though the formatting is completely different. The few pages that have game-specific stats weren't in the preview, but I'd be surprised if they haven't been converted to match v2 conventions...

Add to that list General Quarters, an excellently simple game with a lot of leg and a TON of ships rated for it.

It sort of looks like the errata version is an edit of a version that was older than the released version.

The only significant changes appear to be in adding Hull numbers for the small craft, and some changes to Vehicle weapons damage. The rest are missing words, minor rephrases, rescaling a few pictures, etc. The Hull points were what you'd expect them to be, but the Vehicle Weapons Damage table...

When can we expect discount codes for the hardcopies?

I was indeed a beta tester. I guess I need to contact Mongoose directly.

Curious as well. Can we get an answer?

Is there a discount code for the hardcopy?

Nifty! Q: will there still be a coupon for folks who bought the playtest? Or did that coupon get used up if you downloaded the final PDF?

"Specialized" does not mean better. Agent is specialized to only know "Computer Expert" stuff, and therefore much more limited than Intellect.

I'd say it's a sane idea - that's how sandcasters actually worked in the first edition of the game. Well not including the "grav" part. If you maneuvered, you left the cloud. Though under that version, the cloud stayed on the "map", so it might still be between you and your opponent.

Well, the current (first) edition of Mongoose Traveller is a full game with only the core rule book. Also, you can still get "The Traveller Book" printed from RPGNow!, which is pretty much the same as the Mongoose version in terms of scope, but using the "classic" edition of the rules from back...
