What sort of settings are you using? What is the feel of your
campaign? The TNE setting includes everything the Third Imperium
did except for "decadent imperial nobility" and "all-out war". If you
want to play "all-out-war" then I'm not sympathetic, because the
Rebellion and Fifth Frontier Wars produced more than enough material
between them. "Decadent Nobility" can be run out of Traveller's
Digest #9 (the Capital issue) for ever and ever, and such campaigns
don't get much mileage from continued coverage either (the soaps are
a better source anyway).
What's left? Fragile Frontier. Merchants' Business-As-Usual, "To
Boldly Go...", Political Bedfellows, "We Can Rebuild It", Soulless Hunters
of Soulless Pirates, Mercenary Tickets, Orbital Seige-and-Rescue...
Several of these are actually easier to do than before, and none is
any more difficult to justify.
Continue to gripe if you must, but at least gripe in a specific
fashion. If you see a regrettable gap in the coverage, mention it
to the right people. There are enough writers within shouting distance
of this list that SOMEONE may get inspired to fill the gap, even if
you cannot.

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was much faster, much faster than Light.
She departed one day in a relative way,
And returned on the previous Night.
