Converting Eclipse Phase to Traveller

It's a WIP, there are sections that are still using the EP rules (conversion is easy: every +/-10 Modifier is a +/-1DM)

Currently rewriting the Speed rules (Extra actions are evil, but can be put to some interesting uses IF done properly).

My major project is to figure out how to match a Morph's aptitude maximums (anywhere from 20 to 40) to Traveller's Attributes.

Pick away.

I like 'Eclipse Phase' for many reasons, a 'Traveller' version would certainly be intriguing.

However, what would be really interesting (at least to me) is the extent that it could be "pushed" towards a more modern type of Sci-Fi à la Iain M Bank (that's just an example, there are many other writers out there).

I would just use Traveller to play in an Eclipse Phase setting.

I agree.

The actual rules system used by EP is not up to the task, converting those rules to MgT looks to be a waste of time.

The better course is to use the setting but use the MgT rules to produce the tropes you want.

I'm not sure what you mean. I am using the setting and using the MgT rules to produce the tropes I want. Most of the stuff on the page is converting the setting material to MgT.

Using the setting:
Player1: I want to install Basic Biomods in my Flat!
GM: Great! Here's the Traveller rules for that.

Player2: I want to install Emotional Dampeners in my Fury!
GM: Great! Here's the Traveller rules for that.

How much of the "rule system" for Traveller will you be using? Does this include character generation?

All of it. My goal isn't to create a mashup, it's an excision of the EP rules and a replacement with the Traveller rules.
