Does the new Mass Effect look awesome?
It's not exactly what you're specifying, but FTL really captures the "space captain" thing. Lots of replay value, certainly can be found for cheap.

Though a bit dated now, especially as Mass Effect came out after it and did a lot of the things better, there is still a charm to Advent RIsing.

Since you mentioned Mass Effect, I'm going to assume you already played all 3 games. The only other RPGs I can remember are:
Few games that are not RPG:

Space Rangers HD: A War Apart is one of my favorites.

Best space game of my childhood =)
Didn't know about quality of the english translation, but there a lot of best text quests which gives a lot of freedom for your imaginations =) never seen the game like this.
beautiful solar systems + arcade black hole traveling + textual adventures which hardly extends gameplay + realtime strategy planet fights + amazing space journey music + infinite gameplay with different races and professions.
Actualy this game is Space Rangers 2: Dominators with Addon (that's why there is a lot of negative reviews from russian speaking players).
Also there was Space Rangers which now removed from store
Another recommended games:
DarkStar One

Maybe Starcraft? Not an rpg of course, but good story

(Replying to the Poll) They fired like all of the previous writers and changed the canon of Shepard after his series was done for no good reason. If they want me to be excited about this new Mass Effect then they need to take "Mass Effect" out of the title. Because at this point they've completely lost me on this series.
For a good space-faring RPG I'd suggest Salvation Prophecy. It's was made by one guy and I think it really stands out.

Not much to add to the title. I'm wondering if there are any good sci-fi RPGs set in a space-faring setting that you know of. Doesn't HAVE to be an RPG, but those are preferred. Also, I prefer ones with an actual story and not just sandbox space exploration.
My favorite games in this sub-genre are obviously Mass Effect and KoToR 1 & 2 (Also played the MMO but quit after a few weeks). Any recommendations?
