Star Wars Saga Edition has simple rules for this. The writer seems to be
slightly confused (or deliberately simplistic) about how moving heavy
objects works in zero-gee, but aside from that it's reasonably good.

Characters gain a fly speed equal to their base land speed, but can move
only in straight lines until they encounter a solid surface (creatures with
natural flight retain their flight capability), carrying capacity is greatly
increased, and characters not native to zero-gee take a penalty to attacks.

There are also rules for space sickness, and for after-effects of long-term
zero-gee exposure.

Thanks for the tips.

Someone pointed out there are some rules in the Manual of the Planes
about this. Sure enough there are a couple paragraphs about combat in
high and low G. The low G rules basically give you a -2 penalty on
most physical actions (combat, balance, etc.) and a few bonuses
(longer range increments, bonus on jump, ...) when in a low G
situation (without defining exactly what low G is). it also mentions
that you can "double or triple" the effects in more extreme
situations. The section on zero G doesn't have any crunchy bits at
all.

So I'll probably run it as -2 in low G just to keep it simple.
