Maybe this is more simulation than procedural generation but here is a couple randomly generated planets and rockets. The effects come from the fact that i simulate the speed of light so you only see what the selected ship should see. Together with the fact that the ships easily cross the slow speed of light you get mirages and planets and ships going back in time. The red things are the exhaust. I've thought that maybe this could be an interesting mechanic for a 4x hard sci-fi space game but maybe it would be too confusing.

I have a grid of characters that i fade away and a couple objects that walk down resetting the aplha and randomizing the characters. Not very complex but looks nice.
