I think the problems with size creep on servers can absolutely be curbed with some smart automation on resource generation.
Reason why myself & a lot of others typically fly around their biggest/strongest? Because big ships are durable, and good at protecting their block investment, even with several layers of armor all over, the surface/volume of a 300k mass ship is vastly superior to a 30k mass ship with only a single layer. This can be spawned once and if you pick your fights last pretty much forever, I've had to unbuild a 100k+ mass ship only once due to battle damage (should see the other guy hurr hurr). Can't say the same for smaller ships, unbuilding & reblueprinting those (or deconstructing in shipyards if you're a smart person who values their time & sanity) for me is pretty regular on MP servers.
Automated resource generation would cut so much of the work out of fleet maintenance, which is already frustratingly time consuming even when you have millions of all caps in storage. And for myself the reason why I prefer to have/use the largest stable/well balanced ship in my arsenal for the job.
