Expanded Character Creation

Well, yes and no. Citizens of the Imperium (which this forum is named after) provided 12 new professions, but all in basic CG format. There are a lot of 'unofficial' expanded CG systems floating around. I am sure myself and others can find links to sites on the net that have them if your interested, or you can have fun surfing and finding them yourself.
Hope it helps,

Trevor Graver did a 'Criminals' expansion along Merc/HG lines that was published in 'White Dwarf' back in the 80's (I think it was issue 18 or 19, round about the same time as 'The Sable Rose Affair.') I presume this would still be copyrighted by Games Workshop, who get rather touchy about their old stuff getting networked, even if they are never ever going to touch it again.
I typed up this list for the TML, its a bit out of date, but should have alot of usefull bits for you.
At the time I posted this I only had 4 of the Alien modules; now I've got them all. They also have enhanced chargen, although they are mostly modifications of chargen from CT books 4-7.
Mt char generator where plz?

There are a couple of them located here:

I've played around with both, but it has been a long time since I did. As I recall they both worked fine.
Hope it's what your looking for,

I believe IIRC that the one I use I got from the Free lance Traveller site. The one I have is version 1.14 of MTCG, done by Greg Svenson. The version I got is not error free, but its better than nothing, and actually does quite well.
Some notable errors:
1. After generating a character, program prompts "Do you want to generate another character y/n" If you choose Y, the program crashes. Thus, you have to open the program each time you do a new character.
2. Minor race aliens, like the Vegans, are listed as available, but can't be loaded [Maybe because they aren't really there?]
3. The pirate chargen doesn't work; characters ALWAYS wind up on the prison tables [perhaps a little Imperial influence going on here ].
4. Program will occaisionally freeze when generating a belter character. I have yet to figure out exactly why this occurs, or how to replicate the error to understand why it occurs.
5. Droyne psionics does not look right in this program. Instead of the usual training, it seems like you just get one level of skill each time you go to the psionics school. I'm not sure thats right; it isn't treated that way in the Alien module [or at least I didn't read it that way; I could be mistaken].
6. Scouts are given retirement pay. Not a biggie, as long as you remember that they don't get a pension.
Now, as I've said previously, it ain't the most perfect program, but it's better than nothing, and does actually do well. I've generated about twenty pages worth of NPC's and PC's with it. It just makes everything go fast. Hopefully, Mr Svenson will come out with a version 1.15. If you out there, Mr Svenson, could you put a new one together...
PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE WITH ICE CREAM ON TOP...
