My favourite for this was the old d6 Star Wars game with their Tramp 
Freighters supplement. Crew duties could be nicely divided up between a 
couple of gunners, a pilot and a sensor / ****elds officer. The Tramp 
Freighter supplement had a nice overview of buying and selling goods, 
customising ****p upgrades, and dealing with Imperial customs or smugglers.

It might be pretty hard to come by the Star Wars books these days,
although 
they do have a 'vanilla' d6 space line 
(http://www.orcsnest.com/blurber.asp?Title=D6%20Space%20****ps).
I'm not
sure 
if the newer d20 Star Wars game has an equivalent supplement.
