[QUOTE="jedavis, post: 5681582, member: 35933"] Hey, I ran a game of MongTrav last semester at CMU... It is indeed close to Classic, but cleaned up and with standardized DMs. There is a mechanism for increasing skills, but it is fairly slow with multi-term characters; it takes a number of weeks of training equal to your total skill ranks plus the rank to which you're raising the skill you're training (ex: a character with Gun Combat (Pistol) 1, Pilot (Starship) 1, and some level 0 skills goes to train a skill. To get a new level 0 skill takes 2 weeks, to raise a level 0 skill to a level 1 takes 3 weeks, and to raise a level 1 to level 2 takes 4 weeks). Computer, robot, and cybernetic design is rather limited, but I'm not familiar with CT's versions thereof. One thing I will say is the quality of Mongoose's supplements is... questionable. I've read Mercenary and High Guard, and was not terribly impressed, and have heard less-than-good things about the Supply Catalogue and Animal Encounter. [/QUOTE]
