Yes. It's trading. Same as trading any other cargo. Where you move your ship from A to B. And are out in the open to be pirated. Or just meet other traders.
The answer here is obvious. You make the fuel expense, whatever it is, near to or equal to current other consumables. I would expect that a certain amount of balancing would need to be done because, while the traveling element of repair would be negligible, there would still need to be an absolute minimum of time investiture spent.
Additionally, I believe that the interaction argument is unfounded in any case. Yes, the predator has to go looking for the prey, but that merely puts the impetus on the predator to actually hunt instead of being an ambusher. You can't say it doesn't already happen, it would only become more frequent.
