Tom,

 Per MGT2 core, p 16 (?) - "Skill Limits":

"In addition, a Traveller may never have a total number of skill
*levels* higher than three times his combined INT and EDU."  (emphasis
added)

As it's limited by skill levels, not "number of distinct skills",
level-0 skills don't affect the cap.

GT uses its parent's skill caps (age in years x 2 points in skills, IIRC
- but that could be a GURPS 3-ism), but GT skills are much more
fine-grained than other Trav editions.
