That sounds like a good idea. Especially since hull hitpoints and defences do not keep up with high level weapons technology currently.
This results in a 'one for one' effect which totaly dissregards fleet sieze, ship strength or ship damage.
In other words, you can have a fleet of 10 super dreadnauts, attack one lone enemy frigate with 90% damage and you still loose one of your ships!! totally REDICULOUS.
