I think the only changes between the Daedalus edition and the Atlas edition are the formatting, a sidebar on playing in 1996 and the inclusion of the character templates from Back For Seconds.

Sadly, not the case. There are a couple of subtle-but-significant differences in the combat mechanics between the two editions.

I discovered this only because I once naively handed a group of newbie players photocopies of the cheat sheets from the back of one version, but ran the game based on the other. Mid-combat they started complaining that I was changing the rules on them. Only then, by comparing the rules causing the confusion, did I discover the changes. Very embarrassing. :-(

And, no, unfortunately I can't tell you what the specific differences are. Too long ago, I'm afraid, and too had to look up without digging through a lot of boxes. Sorry!
