Not to minimize Mr Caires's work on this, but note well that the core
Traveller rules - all the '2d6' editions, anyway - were designed with a
wide range of tech levels in mind. Usually, there was an implicit
assumption that you-the-player-character would have a tech advantage over
low-tech natives, but that disparity wasn't _implicit in the rules_ - that
is, the rules still worked perfectly well if _you_ were the native, and the
NPCs were the high-tech offworlders. Well... this carries that idea one
step further: You-the-player-character are on the _same_ technological
footing as the natives. It just happens to be Colonial American. The rules
still work perfectly well...
