MGT Only: Computer Expert Program Bonus to Skill roll?

[Spinward Scout]

In MgT2, is there something that lets you add expert computer programs to Skill Checks?

I seem to remember reading it somewhere, but can't find it.

Maybe it was in RPGSuite?

I know T5 has that as a mechanic (something involving subsituting the computer or sensor's TL for the character's applicable stat, if memory serves). I'm not familiar enough with MgT2 to know if it's in there.

Either use the Expert skill level or your own skill level + 1:

CSC, p68 (also in Core):

A Traveller using an Expert package may make a skill check as if he had the skill at the software’s Bandwidth -1. Only INT and EDU-based checks can be attempted, however.

If a Traveller already has the skill, then an Expert package will grant DM+1 to his check.

[Line breaks added for clarity.]

Thanks! Central Supply Catalog is on my 'To Buy' list.

The same rule is in the Core book, p106, in the description of the Expert software.
