That all sounds good, but, you'd also have to make ship-bound recycle techs to improve their efficiency in the recycling of captured, obsolete ships. I'd also add a tech that allows them to be more efficient with robo miners/farmers/extractors, and maybe a tech that reduces the rate at which the value of the planet/asteroid is reduced. We need to give them a way to get the necessary materials...

I'd make Repair cheap and Maintenance moderately expensive....it'd be cheaper to scrap an old ship and rebuild, than upgrade it, in that light, you should (somehow) make upgrading less feasible...Say, instead of have a 50% more expensive limit, make it 25%...
