I see a potential pitfalls on those ideas, not that I don't like them, but I think the continuity of the game might be affected:
-There is no goal besides surviving.
I think a more defined setting/scene/objective would help us not get swamped. Say, we are the lone survivors from an alien scout party, escaped on a shuttle as our ship was destroyed. Our mission is to alert the galactic empire/federation/whatever of the incoming invasion, while we keep ourselves alive, as the aliens hunt us, or we face problems being on a life pod rather than a fully equipped spaceship. That example would give the survival angle to a more defined objective.
Other idea? Sure: Human race has expanded its borders to the edge of the galaxy, and found no trace of alien civilizations nowhere, besides primitive life forms. Our origins are now a mystery, belonging more to the realm of fable than history. We are space explorers, sent on a mission to investigate the fate of a lost merchant vessel, that lost communication and was drifting in unknown space. The reason why that portion of the galaxy was not used for space routes was unknown as well. The group would soon find that reason, and linked to it, the fate of Humankind's original worlds.
