Make Ship defense penalties graduated: Cruisers 0%, Battle Cruisers 10%, Battleships 20%, Dreadnaughts 30%, Baseships 40%.

Consider giving Weapon Mounts Range and ToHit bonuses for Satellites. +1/+2/+3 Range, +10/+20/+30%. Do this for ships too, but only if you weaken weapon Mounts in some other way such as below.

Decrease the efficiency bonus ratios for Weapon Mounds (Damage Mult/Size Mult). Current bonus ratios are 1.33, 1.5, 1.67 for ships. Make the ratios more like 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Do not change the size or cust multiplier, just the damage multiplier. For example, Make Damage 1.65 times for Large Mount instead of 2 times. 1.65/1.5 = 1.1 efficiency.
