Other Universes: Silhouette Skills in MegaTraveller

One of the concerns when moving between game systems is allowing for differences in skill lists. While a decent GM can make rulings on an ad hoc basis, there's always the risk of those rulings changing over time. So, to allow for conversion between Silhouette and the various Traveller systems, I sat down with a list of skills and the MegaTraveller Players' Manual and came up with what I consider to be a decent conversion from one system to the other. Converting will require the Players' Manual and (for House Rules systems) a copy of Survival Margin or some other document to convert from MegaTraveller to New Era.
