It's well established by canon

Why?
Its the start
of 21st century and we can 3D-print a fully-functioning jet
engine the size of a microwave oven.
Why can't
at TL15 the IN not produce some way of tracking their ships
backwards in Jump space?
I'm having
a real hard time accepting that in a TL15 world, travel
works based on 17th century concepts (its not even Lord
Nelson)

In that case, I can't imagine why you would even bother w/ the TU(tm) cuz that's the way it is in the TU(tm) & changing all that would yield a result that would definitely NOT be the TU(tm), or even a reasonable facsimile, anymore.
