Many Thanks! If you can't think of a good translation for the rest then don't worry about it. All the signs don't have to have the additional Japanese. These are all really good and should add the extra immersion that I'm looking for. 

Again, Thankyou very much! 

Here is a quick list of shop names:

Surely Scrap - A scrapyard that repairs space ships. Based on a planet.

Black Knight Repair - A used spaceship dealership with repair facilities. They can fix it so long as "Tis but a scratch" 

Valkyrie Supply - Do you need a military grade battleship? Then get ready to go on a journey to Valhalla to get it. Valkyrie Supply is an end game fully stocked military supply depot.

Plain Sight - A den where smugglers pass on their ill gotten gains. If you need to hide something, hide it in Plain Sight.

Black Cat - Not every smuggler has a run of good luck... But you can buy more illegal items here if you are feeling lucky.

Murky Waters - Above a muddy river on the planetside, these smugglers get amazing views as they stab people in the back and increase their bounties.

There and Back - You can tell who's been to There and Back. They always look over their shoulder as if you saw the illegal transaction that just took place. Don't be suspicious and you can sell your black market items at There and Back.

Mercantile Theory - A merchant shop that sells legal items and will have you arrested if you bring in any contraban. The only way for you to gain wealth is by shopping at Mercantile Theory.

Smooth Saling - Another non-smuggler shop, Smooth Saling likes the calm riverside view to reminisce on the good old days of sail.

Fed. Up! - A store supplied by the Trade Federation, this shop sells cargo for you to take to the other merchants so you can try and make a profit durring the war.

Sorry, there is no deadline but there is also no budget for this game. It's just something I'm doing in my spare time. If people were to help I would only ask that they help when they can. If this game were to be completed though, I would be more than happy to compensate people for their help.

Thanks for the tips! This is my first time doing a pixel art scene with lighting so I just gave it my best shot :P 

I do like your pun for ship shape, I'll give it a try and see how it looks. I only took 2 classes of Japanese so I only know basic grammar and sentences. It would be nice if I could have a translator to help me on this game because I want about half of the signs to be in Japanese.

I'll fix the sign, it indeed does stand out a bit too much and it needs a bit more wear. I've already gone back and added a garage door as well as getting rid of the black outlines.
