While I like upgrading as much as the next guy it's loss is not such a bad thing.
Look at it like this: not being able to upgrade should force you to consider your timing when building new designs and scrapping old ones. Is the old ship mkII too old to cut it? or can it last a few more cycles? Has our tech advanced enough to justify the cost of a new fleet? or should we research the next big missle? Strategic decisions in a game about strategy.
Also consider that upgrading can and usually does contribute to micromanagement hell. No upgrade no worries about finding every little old ship and docking it for upgrades
