An on-board astrogation computer (rare on even the biggest fighters, but common on everything bigger) would allow you to roll at full skill. There could conceivably be high-quality computers that might give as much as +2 to skill.

Updating your database frequently is important to keeping everything safe. After a week without updating your computer, you're at -1; after a month, -2; six months, -3; a year or more, -5.

I couldn't say about questions 2 and 3.

I disagree.
Several fighters can jump into hyperdrive in the movies.
This tells me its not that hard a skill, you dont train that many people to do something like that and failures would be too big a problem so they would have to buy up the skill.
