CT expanded and MT characters to Mongoose Traveller

[robject]

Have you tried to convert Classic Traveller expanded characters or MegaTraveller characters to Mongoose Traveller? If so, how did you handle it?

In particular, it looks like the skill levels are pretty close in distribution. Would anyone like to relate their experience here?

I think it's quite doable, but game balance may suffer.

Speaking from MT CharGen point of view, ransfering your group to MgT makes skills worth differently, modtly due to included and serves as skills.

As example, your Pilot 3 that also pilots your shoip's boat with skill 2 now should have to choose among sharing its skill level among Small Craft and Starship or use one of them at skill level 0. Same happens with your Engineer 3, your Navigator 3 that also cared about sensors, your character with Carousing 3 that acted as Steward 2, etc...
