Skills

Some notes on skills for Mongoose Traveller.

Electronics

Electronics (Computers) can be used for bypassing electronic security systems.

Languages

If you have no Language skill, then you speak your native language (probably Anglic). Translator devices are pretty common, so a skill beyond this isn't always necessary.

Maybe everyone starts with Language 0?

Specialisations: Each other language is a specialisation, you need +1 level to speak it well enough for most purposes, +2 level to be completely fluent.

Mechanics

Also covers welding, repairing and similar low tech engineering work, even if done on a ship.
