link I'm still waiting for my coupon from the beta test though, so I haven't actually seen it in its final form. From the playtest though the only "Bad Stuff" is that they're taking the approach of splitting out rules (like starship design) into separate books. To be fair, the original Traveller did that too, but they sold all 3 in the same box. (There are much more detailed discussions of this edition elsewhere.)

Original Traveller is what I still work with. Above is the reason why.

In my heart, I'm still a CT guy (I have the beat up old TTB to prove it, though my LBB collection is no longer complete, and Book 4 doesn't have a cover anymore), but I have trouble getting younger players excited about it. MgT is pretty close, and I can lift bits of CT into it (like the reaction table). I still love CT's suitability for one-shots, and overall low-overhead approach to gaming.
