My thought, and YMMV, is that it would work best as a dispersed structure, so that the ship being worked on can be held at any angle as needed for repairs. If that doesn't appeal, then maybe a close structure with the yard at one end or in the center would work.

For a civilian character, I'd recommend a communication device, a filter/respirator, some sort of cheap eye protection, a hand computer, toolkit and a vacsuit. If they get weapons, then a shotgun, carbine, auto pistol or - pay attention to how that's an "or" - a revolver (if they're feeling...

That's a very large missile, not a starship, though. 😉

For starship combat, it's not worth it unless you're moving very fast, snd it's still not worth it because you wasted millions of credits on a suicide attack. So usually it's best reserved for if you're losing badly, and the other side plans to wipe you out anyways.

I might suggest a few lists where it's like the ones above, but the max TLs are TL10, TL11, TL12 and TL13. And then a note that the lower-TL items on the lists are manufactured at the same TL as the list, but the item hasn't otherwise changed from its TL of introduction. E.G., on a TL12 list...

I'd add in veterinary specialist as a third option. Yes, replace Pilot, but with Electronics in general. Replace Vacc Suit with Flyer, but add in a note that a player could use it to gain vacc Suit skill or Pilot: Small Craft if they can sell the GM on a reason.

That gives the SolCon lots of credit, almost as if they were the 3rd Imperium!

Yes, it absolutely should include them!

Then I'll suggest a section for "these sophonts exist, but are considered unplayable due to their alien nature" aliens.

The Sred*Ni are unsuitable as PCs, but let's list them for thoroughness.

How DID Indy keep his tenure after switching from Scholar to Hunter? Or was he just the ultimate Field Researcher?

I wouldn't mind a teacher career as a specialty of Scholar, for both primary and secondary schools. To round it out for three specialties, I'd add in librarian and museum worker.

This is the other reason why the power plant has so much extra fuel. To refuel the fighter unit. If it needs more they can go skimming.

Looks like great minds think alike. Hopefully it isn't the German version - two minds, one stupid!
