I'm writing a kind of CT lite, for a quickstart kit to promote French Traveller.
I'm stil not sure about chargen, but the resolution system looks like that :
Action resolution
All challenging actions have a difficulty threshold.
average => 6
hard => 8
very hard => 10
extreme => 12
impossible => 14
To attempt a task, the player has to roll two six-sided dice, add them to the level of the corresponding skill, and another bonus based on the appropriate characteristic.
If characteristic <= threshold x 0,5 => -1 to roll
If characteristic >= threshold => +1 to roll
If characteristic >= threshold x 1,5 => +2 to roll
If the total is equal to or greater than the threshold, the task is achieved.
Combat
Strength is associated to close combat, dexterity is associated to range combat.
Armor
No armor : threshold 6
Jack armor : threshold 8
Cloth armor : threshold 10
Range combat
Threshold +4 if in close combat with a long firearm (rifle...)
Threshold +2 if range > 50m
Threshold +4 if range > 500m (unless using a rifle with sights)
Close combat
Threshold +1 per level of the foe's skill in brawling or blade combat.
Damage
Damage dice are shared, as the victim wants, among their three physical characteristics. Exception : the first wound is applied to a random characteristic.
Is a physical attribute falls to 0, the character is unconscious.
Is two physical attributes fall to 0, the character is in a coma.
Is three physical attributes fall to 0, the character is dead.
Conscious or unconscious characters recover half their damage points in 10 minutes : the rest wears off with medical care, or at least three days of rest.
A coma requires urgent medical care.
