I adapted some of RuneQuest to a Sci-fi world after reading a CoC scenario published in an old White Dwarf (I was young too, but I'm still silly ;-) about a stellar vampire and a crew coming to investigate the disappearance of an archeological team. I had some fun, calling my system StarQuest... but the absolute lack of existing material forced me to retreat back to a supported system sight...
The tables for laser and plasma rifle fumble were a lot of fun (specially for the game master) and the transformation of sorcery into psionic quite simple.
