Kurt makes a good point. In the Solar System, only Mercury and Venus have orbital periods measured in weeks or months; everything beyond that is measured in years (Earth and Mars) or decades (Jupiter, Saturn, etc.) Unless your spacecraft are slow enough to have travel times measured in months or years, you can pretty much treat nearly every planet in the Solar System as a stationary object; and if you _do_ have travel times that long or longer, you're either going to have copious down-time in your campaign, or the vast majority of your campaign will take place on board a "slow-boat" that is, for all intents and purposes, a miniature world of its own adrift between the planets: on the typical scale of adventures, it too might as well be stationary.
