Although this then leads to the question of how much does the gear cost for more or less sophistication and more or less data.

Which then is dependent on how Astrogation works. . .hence my interlinked questions.

And BTW, I don't have an answer. . .I was just plugging for ideas.

At this point, I might go with advanced computers (Complexity 7+) and parsing the galaxy into more managable "gazetteers" that the PCs might have to buy piecemeal for the areas they want to travel in/to.

Astromechs would then hold pre-calculated jumps, and the older the calc is, the more of a penalty to Astrogation when the course plot is used.
