It's been awhile since I played but here's my .02 cr worth!

Which MegaTraveller game do you have 1 or 2?

MegaTrav 1 has problems in the earlier releases. If you have an early
release write to Paragon for an update. How to tell if you have an
earlier release? Since I don't have the game with me it would be just
as easy to call Paragon and find out. [ Really helpful, huh! :-)]

Flying the ship is about as bad as trying to control the combat.
MT2 simplifies both and is more flexible. First off, this may sound
dumb but, make sure you have enough fuel. It's easy to forget to
refuel, usually you do it just once then you remember the next time!
I did! Second, each position on the ship controls different functions.
Switching between them is a pain, again it's easier in MT2. If you're
in the wrong station the other stations keep on doing what they were
told previously. Which is ok most of the time but to land the ship
stop movement in orbit around the planet. Once in orbit select land
and that should do it.

Skill level of your characters also plays a part. If they are not
high enough it is difficult to control actions. Weapon skills being
a prime example! If you watch your lower level skill characters
shoot the beams fly all over the place. The same goes for piloting
and nav skills. Accuracy at lower levels is really poor.
