You do notice that the same flagship never really stopped at a supply joint to get repairs? It was always on a sortie, and parked only a few light years away from the SDF-1 Macross because that was its mission. A broken glass is not severe to the entire vessel's well being. In fact, I applaud the animator's consistency on the matter.

Even modern naval vessels we have would not store 'spare' glass on board or other important equipment. To get repairs and resupply, you will always have to stop somewhere. For the US navy, in order to replace important equipment, naval vessels most certainly need to stop within the military ports of the US, for it is only there could they get replacements in the required specs.

The rarity of the Glaug remained so since until roughly 3,700 cycles before the present era, a supply of nearly new Glaug units was recovered from an opened weapons storage facility leading to somewhat of a small renaissance for the Glaug. Kamjin Kravshera repeatedly made use of a Glaug during his campaigns in Space War One and possessed a supply of the mecha to replace damaged units. "
The lack of means to reproduce is not equal to the lack of means to restore.

Thus this made maintenance all the more important. Notice how Quamzin always came back with that same Gluag, but most definitely repaired? The Zents also had salvage ships to recover damaged units.

Then there is Milia. who had that one special suit. Moreover, Milia was shown to be severely hurt after her duel with MAX (DYRL), but she apparently returned to full-health within days. Clearly an indication that they have medical technology.
