Would a merchant ship be a good place to start new players in your opinion?
Do you think the original rules provides enough detail to support it? (Really ... how much do you need?)
Is a diverse character mix easier or harder with a ship as a backdrop?
Would a series of port calls be adventurous enough?

That's pretty much the formula for Traveller, so I don't see why not. You will however be making up quite a bit of cultural details for each port of call if you plan to rely on just the original EPT material (but that's not necessarily a bad thing IMO).

I just got the Mark Pettigrew collection of EPT articles and there is an excellent one on running a nautical campaign. Makes me want to do one for my own D&D campaign in fact.

Send them on a mission to Tsolei or Haida Pakalla - both of which are dangerous ports of call w/o even thinking of how you get there. Then there are Hluss, Akho, Pirates...

La, then there are those infernal foreigners in Livyanu, and Muugalavya to contend with as well..... We played a a campaign where the characters went to sea to escape from the clutches of prince Dhiuchine. Why we did that is a long Story in and of itself.... Regardless the Hlyss were a minor problem compared to the mighty Sro who landed on our ship because it took a shine to our black Sro figurehead. Then there were the hordes of Tsoggu... poor Mike to this day has all of his torches socket into a mace.....
