Traveller. I remember that, well Megatraveller anyway. Bugger needed a
spreadsheet for starship design. Ironically, Megatraveller had the
complete opposite of advancement, ageing. :)

If gaining equipment is "advancement" (I personally do class it as such)
then so is gathering money to get better equipment. So therefore
Traveller has advancement (in my loose meaning of the word). Er. And so
is gaining contacts and favours. :) (sorry for the blatant plug)
