Make it a task, use Int, and either Recon, Streetwise, Sensor Ops etc. to notice something environmentally out of the ordinary.
Use admin, liaison, carousing etc. to notice someone acting shifty...

Sigg's handling of it makes good sense. I would add Hunting to the list of useable skills.
MT btw definitely did not have a seperate Perception skill - and IMHO for good reasons. CT/MT skills seem to be defined as training areas in my eyes - granted, it's a stretch for Streetwise or Carousing, but you can imagine specialized training, if informal, even for these.
But "perception" is something you always train in connection with something else. I don't think anyone will learn to notice stuff just for the heck of it.

I agree with you Tobias, Hunting should be there, as could nearly any environment related skill.
You may have to roll a task using zero-G environ to notice something odd.
Similarly, every interpersonal skill could be used to notice something unusual about the way someone is behaving.
In most of the rpgs I've played or run, perception is one of those things that the referee fudges the most for the good of the scenario.

Hi !
If its just about to visually notice something without deeper reflection I use Int & Dex as modifying attributes for a task.
So the Int/Dex combination might be used as "internal" perception or reaction skill, just like Int+Edu is used for staying determinend.
Additional modification by a specific skill might happen, when this skill is actively used.
So, noticing something going on in the dark while sitting around a campfire might perhaps depend on a successful (and maybe hidden or unspecified) task roll
Diff, Int, Dex, 1 sec
but furtheron I would let the task be modified by players hunting skill too.

Mert
