The problem some people have with the Junker thing is that you, in case of the wrecks, interact with no one and gain something from it.
With this one it was mainly the: I'll watch 10 Valors blow up to rebuild one - how it looked - doesn't matter if it was then hauled to Puerto Rico or something that was just a bit weird.
And especially in an active warzone I wouldn't imagine the GRN just letting you rob half their Valor.
But I like it for smaller ships. Will help some people with repairs and srping some ships and it's nice to see Junkers around. EDIT: Not just smuggling/trading
