You should keep the restoration lives on elements. Just maybe give more lives in it while in beta, because if we crash during disconnection or game crush, it seems not fair to pay for that. If its sloppy piloting, thats different story. And specific tool to just swap destroyed elements would be good. Without messing with re-linking everything. Some simple ships doesn't create a problem with it, but more complex ships really hard to figure out what goes where.
And about Rdms. Instead of locking everything up, maybe there should be a place in game, where creators can register their creations. With setting up rules for copying or modifiyng their creations. Like simple fee for creating BP from the ship or other construct with depositing quanta directly to creator's wallet. That will simplify everything. Now creators of some constructs not even playing, leaving us with ships you can't modify according to game changes
