And for the second part: Well, somebody has to stay faithful to the canon here. So, why not me? (And I do claim for all my works that none of it breaks the canon. Bending it, perhaps; but not breaking.)
You have an automatic get out clause for not keeping canon to the Elite Universe. Quite simply this isn't the Elite Universe, it's a very similar Ooniverse.

Wasn't me, I would have blasted down Hesperus ~ 20km out!
Hesperus commands a rusty old derelict of a battered Python that for the grace of Lord Giles and the talents of the onboard engineer, just manages the thrust to move. If you need to be that close to get a hit on that poor wreck, then let me point you to the nearest optical center.
