I got me the reprint of the CT rules the other day, and I was amazed by the sales figures for the individual LBBs that are mentioned in the introduction.
Quoting from memory here, I believe High Guard and Mercenaries each sold around 100,000 copies, while Scouts clocked in at a meagre 20,000 or so, and Merchant Prince at 12,000 (IIRC). I guess this means that mercs are by far the most popular Traveller class, followed by Navy personnel (I'm assuming part of High Guard's popularity were its ship construction rules).
Now, the Scouts being MY all-time favorites, closely followed by the Merchants (and T20's JTAS Reporter), I'm wondering how right I am, so...
What's YOUR preferred career? (And why?)
