IMO this is a terrible idea. Why add such a pointless level of micromanagement to ship construction?
I don't want to have a ship take even longer to build because I didn't notice that all of the components were ready.
It would make building every ship as tedious as building ringworlds and sphereworlds is now.
Hmmmmm
There seems to be a common theme that runs through SE4 threads. And, I suspect, most other games.
Realism vs expediency. 
The desire for a realistic game is countered by the desire for a game that is flexible and easy to play. And vice-versa.
Faster and more complex computers, better software which assist in the creation of better programs and better programming skills will bring these two supposed 'opposites' together.
