This chart, adapted from The Far Orbit Project, is ideal for coming up with spaceborne encounters on the fly. I'm in the process of adding links to each entry with a brief description, game statistics, crew skills, and so forth; when finished, this should be extremely useful to any campaign with a lot of space travel.
