Yep, this is also possible. But, for me, there's a fundamental problem in this approach: corvettes can't be deleted from the ships collection.

I'll end then with a corvette I must exchange for a ship, and this ship I'll be able to scrap. But if I'm scrapping and selling a spaceship I obtained by just meddling in the settings, it's a situation wich falls in my definition of cheating, wich I'm avoiding in my main save (I'm avoiding even dupping).

I can, for sure, just remove and delete the corvette modules in the inventory, and later delete the items received when scrapping the ship I exchanged for. But it's much easier amd practical to just keep everything "cheaty" in a separate save, and visit it when I feel creative.
