Not at all. Stock SEIV is very much offence orriented. May be the rational is that battles should be over in 30 turns ? If ships are ultra tough, battles can end in almost a draw. Then for example inferior fleet can survive warp point battle and move into the system. Or for example allow planet killer hide in the corner while other ships battle for 30 turns and then blow planet.
