Traveller never grabbed me. Maybe it was just the people who ran it, who seemed very much the "I'm playing a group of numbers" than "I'm playing a character" types. Space Opera was my preferred space game (still is, actually), once it came out (Starships and Spacemen was first).

I liked Space Opera for the setting and the sector atlas books if nothing else, I always wanted to run a traveller game set in the merchantile league

The Atlas books rocked. But it was the actual mechanics of Space Opera that put me off.
