You buy advantage for high cost, and if you fail you have great budged damage.
With penalty system every single ship could be made unique while retaining the balance economically-wise.
You'd make a lot of players ragequit, Swallow. We aren't EVE Online, which has over 1000 players at the same time.

From one hand - constant expenses, from the other - unique balancing approach towards every ship (not shipclass). Besides it might boost the activity amongst the traders/miners, and be flexibly set up with all the faction perks, insurance system and so on. Isn't it?
