Traveller 5e coming from World's Largest RPG in cooperation with Mongoose Publishing

Also I feel like Traveller is one of those big original D&D competitors dating back to the 1970s. Isn’t it the first sci-fi RPG? Getting absorbed into 5E makes it feel a bit like D&D has won that 50 year contest.

Mongoose Traveller isn't going anywhere. Nothing is getting absorbed. This is a third party producing a new 5E game that incorporates Traveller elements.

All I can say is eww...gross...

Why would you want to ruin a system as awesome and eloquent as Traveller by making it D&D 5e?

Why does everything have to have a 5e D&D version? It reminds me of the days when everything had a (generally really terrible) version of their game that used the 3e d20 system. D&D doesn't work well for most genres or themes. It's good at the weird superhero fantasy D&D thing. That's it.
