I rolled up a Cepheus Engine character tonight to use as an NPC. Rolled it STRAIT. Stats in order as rolled. Only real option was scientist.

As much as I love Classic Traveller, the Cepheus Engine SRD really has the best breakdown of skills of any of the versions of CE or Traveller. I prefer it to Mongoose 2e and other CE versions.
