For spaceships you should read Spaceships:2 since this covers this in depth.
I could only second this one + sometimes Signiture gear protection is nice. If the story is about group travelling with this ship. GM might want to give the captain some extra points for extra responsibility. Resposibility like tracking the fuel, funding repairs. This bonus is only for player that does the book keeping the person doesn't has to be the in game captain. The player could fit the role of chief engineer pretty well. If GM does the book keeping nobody gets the extra points. Its plot device. If player waste there ship it could as well end the campaign. "These are the voyages of starship Enterprise." Without enterprise it is meaningless.
