So, with the unfortunate lack of a character creation example other than an example character sheet - which does nothing to go through the process and career of the Traveller in question - I have a few questions.
Looking through the flowchart on page 10 it looks as though Travellers no longer roll for skills in their first term, nor after succeeding on an Advancement roll as they did in 1e. This looks as though it's going to result in a MUCH lower number of skills for a character mustering out. I created an example character to test the new system, 4 terms, 2 in Civilian (Worker) and 2 in Marine (Support) and came out the end with only 4 skills at 1, and about 8 at 0. Maybe it's just me but that seems very... low... for a character coming out of 16 years worth of career at the age of 34.
Is this intentional? I know I could easily house rule the additional skill rolls back in but I fear breaking some intended balance if I were to do that.
