If you want to make the shit more interesting, check some of the space superstition threads, create a sailor like mythos for things you should and should not do aboard your ship. And make sure the captain pisses on the wheel before take off, it's a must.

Also, because it's space, mix in a little horror, like the lost cosmonauts coming a knocking'.

Will checks.
LOTS of will checks. Make em roll dice even when nothing is happening just to get your players paranoid. Pass lots of notes around, separate them frequently. Try and get them to believe that the others are plotting to kill them.

Hey OP, what's your pic related?

I've dabbled with the idea of a game in which the players are important members of a small starship shared with a handful of NPC's. It's an idea I keep going back to but don't know which system I can convince my player's to learn.

Run it in Traveller, they just have to roll d6's and make choices in character generation.
Run it in Stars Without Number, they have to roll 3d6 for stats and a d20 for everything else, like in D&D.

Watch more Star Trek for ideas.

Even though they're in command of tens of thousands of people, Rogue Trader plays a lot like this. Each class has their own role on the ship like Captain, Navigator, chief engineer, Weapons control etc. The crew are basically just one of the hit points of the ship, and what you throw into melee combat every now and again, the players are generally pretty separated from them.
