Well, it really depends on the flavour of space combat you are after.

If, for instance, you are looking for something like Traveller, you may visit the British Isles Traveller Support Group (www.bits.org.uk) and download a full set of starship building and combat rules from the Archive/Rules section of their website.

For something more 'hard'-ish (think 2300AD, by GDW) - including vector-based movement - there is another complete ruleset here.

Here, you can find the complete 2nd ed. Interceptor rules for starfighter combat, originally published by FASA.

And finally, you can also download the Full Thrust rulesets from the Ground Zero Games website.

It is not in the list, but I just remembered that you can find a summary of the Space Opera Combat System (SOCS) for GURPS in this link. It is a very streamlined and abstract combat system originally published in GURPS Lensman. I think it should be easy to adapt to BRP.
