I could not find any separate rules for microgravity combat.
P. 59 of the Core Rule Book has a listing for the Zero-G skill that states that anyone who does not have the skill suffers a -2 DM to all checks in a microgravity environment.
P. 40 of Mercenary has a specialization for the Zero-G skill called Personal Combat that allows a character to add his Zero-G skill to his Melee attacks.
The CSC has a little blurb about lasers and accelerator weapons reducing recoil but there are no penalties for weapon recoil in zero-g that I could find. I would make it a GM ruling based on common sense. If a character fires a shotgun in zero-g without being anchored somehow he could end up flying backwards from the recoil. Inside a starship it could just be funny; outside in deep space it could be very dangerous. Maybe give the character a negative DM based on the heft/recoil of the weapon used, using their their level of Zero-G skill to offset the penalty.

Core Rules pg 170.
One would need to reconcile Dick Turpin's finding and mine. YMMV.
Low gravity worlds are simply
0.0G is less than .75G No distinction is made between low and Zero-G RAW here.

Zero-G fights are largely narrative, since the real thing involves a 3D space in every possible way.
Assuming they kept that element, the upcoming "Ender's Game" movie should have lots of zero-G stuff. "Gravity" will too, if the trailers are any indication. Whether either movie is any good otherwise is an open question...
The penalties mentioned above do not contradict. Low gravity situations (John Carter early on) are different than micro-gravity and zero gravity.
