I think I really don't need a FMA set tailored to trav, I just want the 
generic rules. As much as I love Traveller a specific game is probably 
not all that necessary.

And really doesn't need as much work as some fans would say.

It probably has something to do with the inherant complexies that 
drifted into traveller and blind some of the more energetic players. In 
that the complexities are what they are after before the play has even 
started, a good prime example of this is Star Fleet Battles.
