Re: Realism (of a sort)
If you have the resource converter tech, you also have the Ultra recycler thingamybob facility.
With this little building, you can build fleets of VERY expensive ships, mothball them indefinitely and then scrap them for 80% or so of their purchase resources. Seems like a good deal on orbital storage. Also leaves the mothballed ships vulnerable to attack / capture by enemy forces.
