Yes, I agree. Particularly the crew's worries about making their monthly payment! :)

Of course, you'd have to choose tech from the T5 books, if you were to use the setting for a Traveller game. For starters: 1) two different grades - "dumb" and "smart" - of nanobot, 2) self-willed sophont robots and 3) lasting anagathic treatments, at least for the wealthy and those with rare skill sets.
