Im offiziellen Forum hat übrigens jemand dieselbe Frage wie Starwolf:

Der Typ hat meines Erachtens die beste Antwort gegeben:
Buying a thousand dollar jackhammer is less useful than buying a simple hammer, screwdriver set and saw. You might get a lot of value from the corvette in terms of initial price, but what you can probably do with it is extremely limited. In fact, many expect that capital ships will operate at a loss and you have to use other means to get the money to maintain them
Also, if you lose the ship, you will have to wait a loooooooooong time for a replacement. Capital ships aren't really replaced
