The Fortress World option of the Origin Path provides a choice of either Basic Weapon Training (Las) or Basic Weapon Training (SP). Using the sidebar/box on RT15, would it be reasonable to allow a Fortress World character following a Career that begins with Basic Weapon Training (Universal) to take Talented (choose one Skill) in place of the lesser BWT provided by Fortress World even though it's not precisely the same Talent since it still proves to be redundant?

I'd allow my players to swap it, sure. It's a talent just like any other.

That, and since Basic Weapon Training (Universal) covers both of those types of weapons, it is technically a duplicate talent no matter which option you choose. Thumbs up and go for it.
