Of course you can adapt whatever strikes your fancy, as can generics like BESM, GURPS, or HERO by definition, but I'm wondering what people think of for out-of-the-box. (GURPS Space combined with Lowtech/Dungeon Fantasy are not disqualified if you really think that's the best. I'm just looking for opinions.)
Spelljammer, well, neither 2e or 5e D&D really match the tone I'm looking for, falling far more into Tolkienesque high fantasy than even early science fiction, and it's the only one I'm really familiar with aside from WEG Star Wars and the genericized d6 Space, which is by default a bit too industrial/technological, predictably in both cases due to those being the source material they're based on.
