I am still new to Traveller, and have tried searching the forums for this, and apologize if this was answered already and I've missed it.
In the Traveller Core Rulebook (MGT), pp 59, under the heading "Learning New Skills", it states that the more skills a character possesses, the longer it takes him to learn a new skill. I understand the calculation for determining a character's skill total, but the first paragraph is the only place where it mentions learning a new skill.
Paragraph 2 details increasing a skill, and I understand the rule for doing so, but where is the rule for learning a new skill here? I have tried to reason it out: does the rule on pp 59 include both increasing a skill and learning a new skill? For example, a character adds his/her skill total (let's say 3) to a new skill at level zero to result in three weeks learning a new skill at level zero?
I appreciate any responses on this, thank you!
