Perhaps you should spawn in a space station or something and have to work to earn enough credits to leave. Could be integrated with some sort of tutorial system whereby the owners of the station lend you a ship and tell you how to use it. It might be a repair ship, for example, and they might require you to repair the outside of the station or something. Then again, it might be a mining ship and they might require you to mine. Or take out the garbage. Or anything. Of course it would be procedurally generated to be slightly different each time.
Then when you respawn you would have to go through the same tedious malarkey all over again, except it would be quicker because 1) it would be less styled like a tutorial, ie. with hover-tips and stuff and more just that you have to work for your pay and 2) you would know how to do everything already. And also it would be interesting on account of being slightly different to last time. And having a disincentive for dying is no bad thing anyway.
