109) In this setting, the PCs make their money mostly through trade rather finding it in dungeons or being paid for their services. A dragon's hoard contains not money but rare art and spices that need to be sold at market. They'd never want to sell the ship except to buy a better one because they'd be cutting themselves off from making any additional money in the future.
110) PCs are acquaintances with an incredibly elusive white collar career criminal. The PCs are trapped and charged with very hefty sentences by the authorities. As a plea bargain they're given a ship to fly around at their leisure, but the authorities have secretly and incredibly uniquely bugged the hell out of it, in hopes to catch the criminal in something incriminating.
111) Tribble infestation.
112) The player on the team that is the Ace Pilot *is* the spaceship. He transforms.
When they get a better ship, he doesn't need to anymore.
113) Food synthesizer cannot produce a proper cup of tea.
115) ship ownership is so commonplace and expected that when the party try to sell their only ship, everyone thinks it's part of a series of common scams.
119) No interior doors, not even on the head.
113) Food synthesizer cannot produce a proper cup of tea.
"I believe we could use a new shuttlecraft... Let's see how well this works: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. ... ... PBFFFFFTAH! UGH! THIS IS LUKEWARM ORANGE PEKOE BREWED WITH SEAWATER! LEAVE FEDERATION SPACE IMMEDIATELY OR I'LL PERSONALLY LAUNCH EVERY PHOTON TORPEDO IN STARFLEET RIGHT UP YOUR ASS!"
I was going for the Hitchhiker's Guide reference, but enraging the most British Frenchman in Federation history is probably worth something too.
120) Its previous owners were kobolds. It's a confusing warren of access tunnels and passages, the party found a clutch of eggs last week, and the "Days since last trap:" counter has been reset so often the 9 is missing from the ones position and no one is sure for how long. Nobody is willing to risk buying it from you.

That's beautiful. One more reason for Space Kobolds.
122) The ship used to belong to a group of Ysoki icons that were popular for servicing a large number of patrons. It seems like no amount of effort can quite eliminate all traces of the previous owners. And to compound your woes the ships name is bound to the hull, and thus cannot be changed. It's current name; the Physeter Macrocephalus, destroys any attempts at obscuring the line of work it used to participate in.
The adventure starts with the party waking up on the ship, nobody remembers how they got there and it is stranded in the middle of space, all other crew members are dead. The party has to repair the ship before emergency life support fails. Once the ship is repaired the ship is their primary clue to piece together past events and what happened to them. This makes the ship not only necessary to travel but a clue to advance in the adventure, AND IT WAS FREE!
So, basically it's the Raza from Dark Matter?
