Hi Everybody!

I've been thinking about making some Top 20 lists for Traveller, but I'm having a little trouble coming up with categories. Here's what I've got so far:

Top 20 Worlds of Known Space
Top 20 Minor Races
Top 20 Technological Wonders

What else could I add to this list?

Scout
 
Top 20 Things Not to Say to Customs
Top 20 Ways to Cross the Extra-Territoriality Line
Top 20 Ways to Anger Sophants
Top 20 Things to Have in Your Ship's Locker

Ron
 
Top 20 Solomani Party sayings?

(In management speak e.g. "The Party exists for the good of all Solomani" ="You will do what The Party says or we'll shoot you".)
 
I was thinking about excluding the Major Races Homeworlds in the Top 20 list. But then, everything has some interest to it, otherwise, we wouldn't be playing the game, right?
