Traveller Fading Suns?

[Tyrant]

Hi guys,
I was toying with the idea of running a Fading Suns game using Mongoose Traveller. I was just wondering if anyone had tried and if there were any particular challenges that you came across.

I would imagine that the most difficult part would be including psi abilities and creating certain alien races. Vorox with their four arms in particular would seem to be a bit of a tricky thing to recreate.

The rest I guess would just be background, and that's easy enough to do.
The ships are pretty easy to handle as well.

In my view the most difficult part of Fading Suns would be everything
connected with Antinomy (demonology, necromancy ...), because in
my view Traveller does not handle such fantasy elements very well.

Otherwise I would not see any serious problems, although Traveller's
ship designs are quite different from those of Fading Suns (just think
of the size of fuel tanks needed for Traveller's standard jump drive).

As for the Vorox, a system that can deal with five-limbed Hivers is al-
so able to handle six-limbed Vorox. Just ask here on this forum, if you
need ideas for "Vorox rules", and you will certainly get a number of ve-
ry good proposals.
