ACKS and Traveller

Observations:

• ACKS is the lovechild of B/X and Traveller by way of a classical history education
• Mid-level ACKS is structurally Traveller-esque, particularly when played nautically
• We see this especially in the trade system
• Traveller's no-ship, have-ship, and "oh god what do I do with all this money" phases of play are analogous to ACKS' dungeon, wilderness, and domain phases
• Traveller-style Patrons, with money but without land or force, are a good solution to "why hire adventurers" for ACKS
• Traveller is better at Traveller than ACKS is. 
• God I'm burnt out on ACKS.

Conclusions:

•  Maybe I should run Traveller but add the best parts of ACKS
• Steal holdings and trade rules from Suns of Gold
• Probably lots of things worth mining from Stars Without Number, really
• Might also be things worth taking from Classic Traveller
• Add mercenaries and henchmen 
• Steal from Pirates of Drinax intro campaign rules
• Add "treasure map" high-risk high-reward (megacredit+) opportunities (eg starship salvage, piracy, big caches of illegal goods)
• More exploration focus
• Maybe steal SWN's "scream" background too, player maps pre-fall and out of date, jump tech rare
