aging in Traveller

One thing I would *definately* like to see fixed is the aging rules (the ages
at which the characters must make saves to avoid the reduction of stats). Now,
the table may be appropriate based on the medical care we have today, but not
what it'll be like in 2000-3000 years! I've ignored the aging rolls for almost
as long as I've played, since they make no sense to be as low as they are for
a much more technologically advanced culture. I also have a problem with the
fact that even if a character recieves a promotion every term, they will almost
never serve more than two terms at the highest rank. This makes no sense that
the military is going to force out their generals and admirals as soon as they
get to that rank. The maximum voluntary number of terms (6, I think) should be
extended for those of high rank (say 4+) by one term, with an additional term
per level of rank past 4 (so an Admiral could serve 9 terms (36 years, minimum
age of 54)).
