Little Black Book (LBB or OG) Traveller had two ship design systems. Close but incompatible systems.
The descendant game, Megatraveller had it's own design system that could approximate OG Book 5 designs, but wasn't fully compatible but was a lot more detailed and comprehensive.
GURPS: Traveller is for GURPS 3rd edition. It's design system is a modularized version of the system in GURPS: Vehicles. It comes very close to OG Book 2 in its results, but like Megatraveller it's just an approximation.
I've been playing with these rules lately and really enjoying tweaking TL9 ships.
GURPS: Traveller: Interstellar Wars is set at the end of the Viru Sirka (1st Imperium) and the beginning of the Rule of Man (2nd Imperium) and is also TL9.
And now I have yet another design system! GT: Interstellar Wars is for GURPS 4th edition.
Mutter mutter mumble...
Oh, both GURPS systems can make ships which are impossible to make with OG Traveller because the views on technology have changed a lot since 1977. That's the problem with future history, the present often advances in unpredictable ways.
