I am going to use warp drives akin to Star Trek.
Basically I am traveling faster than light in real space and have similarly designed comms and sensors to keep up. The warp fields may handle micro meteorites but for other obstacles I would gotta maneuver my ship.
Warp drives are slow compared to other methods but they have the advantage of lower energy drain thus effectively no downtime. Even then warp drives usually take longer to reach a target even accounting for the limited range and downtime of other designs.
Alternatively I can have a subspace drive for longer treks as per the rules state. But I don't mind if I get the disadvantage of being slower than the rest, either.
