Locally, the F-111 seems to be an example of this; its had a long service life, but with the delays to the JSF, the previous government were to buy another fighter as a stop-gap (with shorter range and lower payload). Relating back to FTverse; the intent to project military power (through FTL) is going to impact "acceptable" costs. Transporting thousands of militia or a few elite units is just logistics; replacing casualties/ammo/equipment may be prohibitive with the travel times required. The "effective" points cost we can PSB to include the logistical costs of putting those forces on the front line (ie: you pay less up front, but need more to be "comparable" to a more expensive force).
