For super-quick games, maybe just use single-system maps, or two adjacent systems. Then give each player one homeworld per "fleet" they sent in.
Would require making a bunch of custom maps, but would likely save you time in the long run.
Well, that may be a little TOO cutthroat. 
Besides, the number of fleets is already accounted for in the racial points. I think number of planets would be too much of an advantage. I can see a 1K empire beating a 5k empire. But 1 HW beating 5? No way.
