Looking for a fairly standard game of Mongoose Traveller, set in the Imperium.  The players would be the typical traders who have sold themselves to the bank to get a ship, and are trading and getting into trouble to make payments.

I'd prefer no more than about 4 or 5 players, including myself.

Which Mongoose version, 1 or 2 ??  I only have the M 1 rules book, just can't afford to keep buying new rules collections every 5 years.

Is there much difference? The old version is no problem for me, in any event.
