In our read-throughs so far, the equipment leveling has been quite unpopular. So we'll probably have a "a gun is a gun" conversion toward standard D20 equipment stats, but with options for masterwork from there.

Yeah, I'm probably going to be scrapping nearly the entire equipment chapter, and replacing it with items lifted out of D20 Modern, D20 Future, and D20 Future Tech.

Probably even steal the wealth system, given how well it works for setting where credit cards exist. Probably go with PL 6 as the base, but have PL 7 gear be available at increased cost.

Probably will keep the Pathfinder Power armor system, but scrap item levels. I mean, why is a 5d6 Frag Grenade a 10th level item, when you have your Technomancer throwing 9d6 fireballs at level 7?

You are incorrect. I assume you are reading from this:

Spell-Like Abilities, Casting, and Prerequisites: Does a creature with a spell-like ability count as being able to cast that spell for the purpose of prerequisites or requirements?

Yes.
For example, the Dimensional Agility feat (Ultimate Combat) has "ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door" as a prerequisite; a barghest has dimension door as a spell-like ability, so the barghest meets the "able to cast dimension door prerequisite for that feat.

Edit 7/12/13: The design team is aware that the above answer means that certain races can gain access to some spellcaster prestige classes earlier than the default minimum (character level 6).

It seems the Devs have noticed this, because if you check the FAQ now.

Spell-Like Abilities, Casting, and Prerequisites: Does a creature with a spell-like ability count as being able to cast that spell for the purpose of prerequisites or requirements?

Only if the pre-requisite calls out the name of a spell explicitly. For instance, the Dimensional Agility feat (Ultimate Combat) has "ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door" as a prerequisite; a barghest has dimension door as a spell-like ability, so the barghest meets the "able to cast dimension door prerequisite for that feat. However, the barghest's dimension door would not meet requirements such as "Ability to cast 4th level spells" or "Ability to cast arcane spells".

and

Item Creation Feats: Does having a caster level from a spell-like ability meet the caster level prerequisite for selecting an item creation feat?

No.
