No.

I honestly don't know why or even if I should actually have to make make any other argument besides that, but I will.

We have moved from a funny arcade space shooter game to a bunch of half-baked faux-simulator mechanics that very few people actually enjoy. If it was any other game designed around being a space simulator, perhaps it would have merit to flesh out survival/realistic mechanics. Instead it will just be another checkbox on the feature creep list to keep track of. You have a capital ship combat system that has exasperated the "heavy of <class> beats lighter of <class>" of the past decade, you have bombers that have become better fighter killers than anything-else killers, you have gunboats back in their 4.84/4.85 prime of "literally kill everyone forever" balance, and the economy revolves almost entirely around people making billions off of your trade and combat events.

Please stop and take a moment to analyze the current state of the game before you decide to add another feature, and specifically one that will just end up being a tedious chore.

Also I'm pretty sure the premise of this is just stolen word for word from how it works in another game.
