Wow, there's been a lot of updates to Traveller since I played. I was playing in the 1985-1988 era. Which, of course, meant mostly Little Black Books. I don't think I ever played MegaTraveller, but I think we used the Mercenary rulebook towards the end.
The early character generation would result in character death too easily, after hours of creating a character, and before starting an adventure. So, since I was a hobby programmer, and so were my gaming friends to some extent, I wrote software to their (ever-changing) spec instead of generating characters one day. I wonder if I still have that. It was in Kaypro BASIC, IIRC.
