Rickchapthere are fewer large padded stations to do commerce and repair etc
There's simply no stations out there, not in the inhabited "bubble", so people are equipping long-range explorer ships with Auto Field-Maintenance Units, or using carriers.
p.s. Ah, sorry, thought it was a novice's question. Anyway, there's nobody to do commerce with when far away from inhabited space, so any stuff except exploration stuff will affect jump range.
