The closest I came to a non-FTL scifi RPG that was fun was with a
campaign I ran during college using Cyberpunk 1.0.  A great set of
rules.	Cruising to the moon in a battered system ship that smelled of
burnt insulation (as well as additional random foul smells) certainly
added to the player's tension ...

Transhuman Space looked to be a rather fun setting to game in but
being tied to Gurps sort of deflated the desire to actually give it a
go.
