The point, Owen, is to make money. Traveller has never been much of a moneymaker and I guess its creators got tired of that. So they made a game that's as un-Travellerish as they could so that they could finally get that screaming set of D&D hordes to give some money their way.

Unfortunately this whole "D20-like" phenomenon doesn't seem to be working as well as people had hoped. I doubt T20 will be any less fringe than Traveller has been for most of its existence. :-(
