In FT campaigns with usable construction with in game time, of course,
it
can also depend on arcane things like rules for taking over assets. Do
you
get to start using captured shipyards? Resource generators?

Yes, and you are quickly bringing the war to your opponent, no, and you
are
fighting increasingly long supply lines, as well as being spread out
covering territory.
