It'll be cool if you could get some allies to follow you around

I mean wouldn't it be cool to have your own mini squadron or fleet of ships following you around?
Here's my idea. You can purchase up to 3 ships at a time along with their weapons and the ship you select as the main ship becomes the head (player's ship), while the other 2 follows.
Here's how my idea would work in game.
1. It will increase your inventory capacity, since the other ships can help carry you stuff.
2. Your ally ships will engage enemies without you going into battle mode, but you have the choice to make them passive or aggressive.
3. The ally ships will share a fraction of each armor upgrade you purchase.
4. If an allied ship is destroyed, it is gone for good along with the weapons and supplies you have on it.
Lol I might be thinking of an entirely different game, but this idea would definitely be awesome.
What do you guys think?

Hate to state the obvious comparison, but just play EV for those features! ;)
What I would like to see is an acceleration function that will speed up time when you are trekking through space on some mission or another... while the game is beautiful to watch, having passed through Sigma and Delta Aquari hundred times already (which is a long stretch of space) it would be nice to speed up/zoom the game play when I am just "passing through"...
