Using Far Trader with MgT...

How much work is it to use FT in any classic Traveller game? I'm using Mongoose now by the way.

Is it possible to use without having to import a bunch of GURPS rules? I mean can I still use the UWP's with Far Trader or will I have to convert everything over? i.e. tech levels etc..


Is it worth it? Are the Far Trader rules actually good in actual play?


thanks
 
At the minimum you'll need to convert the tech levels if they are used (don't have Far-Trader). GURPS uses a different scale than the rest of Traveller. As I understand it the conversion is:

Code:
GURPS to CT TL

  9       9-11
 10      12-13
 11       14
 12       15
 
GURPS to CT TL

CT TL to GURPS Per GURPS:TRAVELLER Pg107

CT --- GURPS
0 ----- 1-3
1 ------ 4
2 ------ 5
3 ------ 5
4 ------ 5
5 ------ 6
6 ------ 6
7 ------ 7
8 ------ 8
9 ------ 9
10 ----- 9
11 ----- 9
12 ---- 10
13 ---- 10
14 ---- 11
15 ---- 12
16 ---- 13
