5E goes a long way to addressing a lot of the problems with the earlier editions especially with regards to vehicle rules. and Hero Designer 2 is one hell of a nice character generator program... I use it just about daily.

and yes you can play traveller in the hero system, it doesnt work that badly for some things

Doug... get thee to the Hero system boards, it would be nice to have another traveller person there

if you want to see some of what we've done as far as Hero/Traveller conversions check this site
http://www.starherofandom.com/

there are quite extensive conversion rules for several game systems along with traveller stuff.

I post to the Hero boards as shadowcat1313
and if you need any help with anything let me know

I haven't gotten to take a look at too much of the Star Hero stuff. How is it? From what I've seen it's a bit TOO toolkitty for me, and the Terran Empire setting doesn't turn my crank.

its toolkitty, but being a major gearhead to begin with, I like it
I dont care that much for the Terran Empire setting either...
and the stock ship designs are a little disapointing

too much reliance on antimatter missiles, no spinal mounts, starship caliber plasma weapons with ranges that are mediocre at best. really munchkiny defensewise too... between armor and shields some of the designs have nigh on 100 defense. also they use variable power pools for sensors and EW among other things... which is something I've never agreed with a bit
