Ship's cat?

It'd add an interesting dimension to combat. You'd be in an anxious fight against three heavily armed Cobras, so you'd reach across to that keyboard on the left to arm some missiles, only to find your cat on there busily washing its bottom. So you'd pitch forward violently causing the cat to shoot off the keyboard (due to weightlessness), you'd quickly arm the missiles and then the cat would bounce off the canopy, back down onto the keyboard firing all the missiles and killing the Cobras. Job done.

A pet like a cat is very important for the long periods of solitary exploration

You could have one that sits on the dashboard (useful for eating trumbles, maybe) but with the trade-off that they decide to stand up and obscure your view during exciting space battles.

Don't let PETA hear that suggestion. Exposing cats to zero gravity would count as cruelty towards animals, i think.

Huh, that zero g comment got me thinking. Stations rotate to produce gravity ( I hope that when walking around them comes there will be visible differences for people walking in 0.3g in the dock vs 1g in the outer rim of the station). Now walking around ships - how does a ship produce significant amounts of gravity to "walk around in"? I've not seen any rotating parts yet!

Magnetic Boots, or Velcro :D

rofl, with velcro you will get stuck until you reach some serious gravity and can use your mass to free yourself :)

that can be nice zeroG prisoner restraining, just dress them in velcro and smash to wall covered in velcro ;)

You would simply, in game, push off from various edges and handholds that will be throughout the ship as well as magnetic boots. Most likely only lightly magnetic to give traction but weak enough to push off.

Watching a cat float through the cockpit would be rather funny.

But I wouldn't want the litter box to be in the same room with me. Just imagine, after all the little bits and clumps got properly dispersed, and how much of it would wind up on your controls, your face, nostrils,... mouth.

Bleah.

It was bad enough when I saw my German Shepherd eating the cat poop out of the litterbox a few years ago.
