Out of curiosity...

Has anyone adopted anything from T5 into 2E, such as Fame, or the Personals section?

* The Senses work for Perception Rolls.
* Landed Nobility structure for Imperial Member Worlds
* Variant/Alternative Standard Characteristics (Agility/Grace), (Vigor/Stamina), (Training/Instinct), (Charisma/Caste)

EDIT: Yes, anything and everything from the Starships Book and Technology Chapters as well.

Makers, sophont maker, mustreing out benefits, wafer technology, brains, the entire technology chapter - those are the bits from T5 that have made it into my typical Traveller games. That's of the yop of my head, give me a moment to think and there is likely other stuff I have adopted.

I adapted the T5 background skills by trade code table for MgT2. It made sense to me, that your environment growing up would influence things you learn.

Same here, great way to help the players invest in the setting. And who doesn’t love a good D66 table, especially during chargen?

Also using the Alien personal characteristics (Grace, Charisma, etc).

I also am using a home brew of the sensor/weapon/screen construction rules. More tonnage + more Power = greater Range. So you might start out with a by the book Civilian sensor suite but you can use ship shares or spend credits to upgrade the individual components. Or your turret weapons or whatever. Or you can get individual systems, say a Jammer suite or Datacaster that wouldn’t normally be part of the package. Assuming you can find what you’re looking for.

Also using some of the new Trade Codes, such as Js (Jump Shadow), Lk (Tidal Lock), and Tz (Tidal Zone). These have impacts on my home brew Economics system and let the players know something about the astrography of a given system at a glance.

And to complete the circle, absolutely love the D66 Trade Goods tables based on planetary Trade Codes.

I love the character background things in T5, even though by and large I hate T5 because I can never find anything. It is like it was organized by a sadistic librarian using some bastardized Dewey Decimal System...
