Mongoose's plans for Traveller

So...what do you all think of the plans that were put forth on Mongoose's blog for Traveller, as reported on the TML earlier?

I'm especially intrigued by the "Classic Adventures" one...adventures loosely based on the classics but updated and hopefully better than some (Shadows, I'm looking at you...)

That and the B5 and Hammers Slammers books, of course

If they're gonna do Shadows, then I hope that the aliens are NOT H'hkar. That would dissuade me from buying a copy.

The superficial evidence doesn't seem quite consistent with the H'hkar,
although I suppose a case could be made for them.  There is also
superficial evidence that might point to the Droyne/Ancients (the
skeleton with the coins).  Given that such canonical information on the
H'hkar as exists places them much farther to trailing (in the Julian
Protectorate), I'd not immediately think of them as the builders of the
pyramids in Shadows.

I'd be interested in knowing what Allen feels are the problems with
Shadows that need to be improved in a re-release.
