With regards to the stealing a spaceship. Edge of the Empire is sometimes about the scum and villany of the universe doing good deeds of a sort. So we set up adventures where the players are dealing with crime lords, stealing stuff and such. Why are we concerned about them stealing a spaceship? Anikin stole a fighter and a speeder or two along the way.

In general a spaceship in port will have about 33%-50% of its crew component on board, assuming the crew disembarks. Even three people could make the PCs lives a missery in a spaceship where they can lock doors, vent the air to space or adjust the gravity to a section of the ship.

As for the OP topic: Best thing I learned is to have fun and try and ignore the listings of possible uses for advantage, threat and so on, and just go by the idea that advantage should be a little good, triump should be very good and despair is as much about making more of a challenge for the players and should be used creatively in order to take the narrative on a tangent.

Despair could for example be used to have help arrive: The PC's could be doing a job for teh Black Sun, and running into trouble some opperatives join the PC's and help them. Now the PC's may have an obligation to help them again and without question. Exactly what happens when a wookie gets a life debt to some bad guys?

Many light freighters in port are going to be like a truck at a truck stop. Most likely every member of that two- or three-man crew is off ship dining, recreating, doing business, or sleeping (the racks on most small ships are not something you want to stay in while at a port).
