IMHO, I'd say about 95% compatible.

There *are* a few instances where MT rules simply do not translate well nor easily backwards-compatible with CT. Just taking a look at my MegaTraveller 101 Vehicles sourcebook.... each vehicle is given a distinctive mass and VOLUME rating. Each one has a parameter for volume displacement, but also a separate parameter for "mass" (weight) in terms of unloaded and loaded weight. This clearly goes beyond the established vehicle design parameters of CT.

So yeah, I wouldn't exactly say that CT and MT are 100% compatible. But at 95% backwards-compatible, that's still pretty good enough.

For the most part, any "equipment" or item that was introduced for MegaTraveller can easily be borrowed and used in a CT campaign. I do it all the time.
