How does the military/explorer groups having skimmer warp while everyone else uses those point-to-point jump drives change military or civilian responses to crises?

I assume there is no FTL radios and such?

A tramp freighter would need to keep costs down. Why bother with an expensive drive for exploring the stars when you can use a cheap drive to jump right to the stars you want?

I need to do more thinking on the last two questions.
