Alright, so, a few months ago I was marathoning Red Dwarf after they added it back into netflix instant, and thanks to adding an auxillary port to my car stereo I've spent an awful lot of time listening to the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy radio plays. Long story short I decided I wanted to run a space game where rather than being intrepid space heroes, intergalactic wizards, or loner bounty hunters, you're just a couple of guys barely managing to survive by a mixture of luck, some inventive thinking, and your wits.
So I pitched it to my group, the same guys who are responsible for this little gem:

A 3.5 game that we did playing all commoners (I notice my friend never got back to tell people how it went. If you'd like to know, I'd be more than happy to tell you but I dont feel like bringing a year old thread to the front page again)
So, my question is this. The party is comprised of cripples, janitors, and psychopathic robot chefs. Does anyone have an idea for a problem that a space crew might face that could be dealt with by a crew of rejects? Less Xenomorph infestation and more like "a meteor accidentally hits the ship, and they must land on a planet inhabited by aliens who want one of the crew to marry the chiefs daughter in exchange for replacement parts"
