Anyway, it seems like a nice fix. But I'm not sure if it would be easy to do in SEIV.

It maybe easier to add special WP armor and double planetary weapon power.

WP armor, ie total unit damage resistance, could be easily increased by raising damage resistance of WP computer. Only drawback is that it does not scale with WP size.
