e'll never get time dilation on ships, which is easy enough to hand-wave away I think, but relativistic mass, velocity composition, maybe even red/blue shifting of received beam spectra (so if someone scans you while you're at a relativistic speed relative to them when they sent the beam, the scan would have a spectrum unique to that sending ship, which you might recognize, but it would be shifted).
