This just popped into my mind as I read your last line:

As your spacecraft leaves the planet behind, you experience some kind of tachnical failure or another alien race / setup by the precursors disables your spacecraft on your way home, and you're now 'Lost in space'.

Direct sequel (Astronautica?) or DLC to the story, you'd just need a new mechanic for moving with thrusters instead of swimming. I'd buy it!
