I mean, look at Alien.
Utilitarian ship covered in filth, bare bones. No fancy 3D display monitors, no pristine captain's quarters with a fucking grand piano. I understand that this was mostly a product of the limitations at the time, but it worked so well.
The crew consisted of scientists that look like scientists and feel like real people, ie not perfectly symmetrical, well-toned 20-somethings that look elegant and choreographed even while being murdered by aliens.
