I always figured that a single unit of cargo is about equal to a pallet of goods...& if not pallet-sized, then definitely still a large bulk item.

On the flipside, I think it's safe to say that given the population of multi trillions across Sirius, and the amount of ships we see in space, I'd imagine that space travel is common, and attainable for anyone, who really want it, but it's not the norm.
If spaceships were as affordable as cars & trucks, then just about everybody would have one, & Freelancer would be like flying the skies of Coruscant.
I generally just figure that if I buy a ship that costs 39 million creds, it's like a car that would cost 3 hundred 90 thousand dollars
Expensive AF but for the minority of those who choose to make their living in space, it's eventually doable.
