 ​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.
