This is a ship for an interdicted TL5 world where my players are 
currently trying to prove an embargo violation. The locals are 
xenophobic and would not trade with the Imperium if they could. 

Some of my earlier vehicles are mixed-TL craft, TL5 or thereabout
with a few higher-TL electronics. GPS is great if there are sats,
plus a simple TL10 "short-range" radio and perhaps a sonar depth
finder. I guess the radio would come even before the nav gear, 
but at the "cross-TL exchange rates" of GT:Far Trader, anybody 
who can afford a TL4 or TL5 _ship_ should be able to afford a few
hundred TL10-$ worth of electronics. The rate is 30:1 ...
