I'm just getting into Traveller and looking for my next fix. There are tons of Mongoose books out there, but I don't want to get something that will be included later in one of the new edition books. Below, I've listed the new books and the old books. Can someone point out which books I...

Right after reading about how damage works, my first question was, "How do I heal that damage?" I eventually found it in the next chapter, Encounters and Dangers. Personally, I think the section on healing would fit fine in the chapter about combat, but if you decide not to move it, how about...

Hmm. Strange that SOC 9+ (your raw characteristic value is greater than 9) is represented in the exact same convention as EDU 7+ (roll 2D and add your EDU modifier and success on greater than 7). I wonder if there's an easy fix to differentiate these.

Some of the rolls that are made when creating a character have DMs based on your characteristics. For example, under the "University" section: Entry: EDU 7+ DM-1 if in Term Two, DM-2 if in Term Three DM+1 if SOC 9+ Is the SOC 9+ a SOC check that I make right there, or is it my raw SOC value?

Hmm. Good point. How about this: Skills Skills are the most important aspect of a Traveller. A Traveller's proficiecty in any skill is denoted by his level in that skill. The most basic training in a skill is level 0, meaning you can attempt that skill without penalty. Further details on skills...

Yeah, it's really only the term "Psionics" that's the problem. I wonder if there is a way to work it in. Maybe in the Third Imperium section? "The Third Imperium is a universe filled with fantastic creatures and phenomena, including sentient alien species such as the Aslan or the Vargr, or the...

I'm wondering if there should be a short list of commonly-used but perhaps unfamiliar terms between the "Game Conventions" and "Technology Levels" sections. The main reason I bring it up is Psionics. It's an unfamiliar term to people new to the Traveller universe, but it has a very specific...

It seems strange that this is so dominantly called out in the Character Creation process. I assume that it only covers pages 14 and 15, but when you turn to page 16 there is nothing that clearly indicates "Now back to the rest of the character creation process". The "Careers" title on page 16...

I came here to post the same suggestion. There is a quick explanation on page 5 under the Game Conventions section (which is good), but this is the first detailed description that we get--which makes sense as character creation is the first place where it's used extensively. However, like...

On page 9, it requests the player to choose some background skills, then lists a number of them as Admin 0, Animals 0, etc. Having read farther into the rules, I get that having a "0" skill means that you can actually use that skill with no DM penalty, but that's not really clear to a new...
