SKILL AUGMENTATION (TL12)
The Traveller’s nervous system is rewired to
be more suited to a particular task. A pilot
might have his reflexes and sense of balance
improved; a broker might be made capable of
controlling his pupil responses and smelling
pheromones and skin salinity of others. A skill
augmentation gives the Traveller DM+1 when
using that specific skill. A character can only
have one Skill Augmentation, and must initially
possess that skill at least at level 0 to benefit
from the augmentation.

SKILL AUGMENTATION
The Traveller’s nervous system is rewired to be more suited to
a particular task. A pilot might have his reflexes and sense of
balance improved, for example, while a broker might be made
capable of controlling his pupil responses and smelling alien
pheromones and skin salinity. A skill augmentation grants the
Traveller DM+1 when using that specific skill. A Traveller may
have three different skill augmentations at any one time.
Skill Augmentation TL 12 Cost Cr150,000 [incidentally life would be easier for those of us with crappy middle-aged eyes if you either consistently used MCr or KCr for costs or put commas in your thousands]
A quite important change: the Corebook skill augmentation qualifies as a combat implant benefit within the TL 12 and Cr 50,000 limits but you can only have one and only if you already have that skill anyway - the CSC skill augmentation costs three times as much and so can't be a benefit and you can have 3 in any skill you like (although a CSC Neural Link-13 plus a Wafer Jack and a bunch of expert programs would give a similar benefit at much less cost and without as much major invasive surgery to rewire your entire nervous system).
So which is correct?
