I ALWAYS crank my repair aptitude down to 50% at game start up anyway...those points are really nice. Baseships are really the only ship where you can load up on EP and still have a decent attack/defense ship. If you want to limit the number of EP per ship, I would recommend just limiting the number on baseships only. Even then, I don't think there should be a limit.

A fully loaded baseship takes a fair amount of time to build. I would rather crank out three or four dreadnaughts or battleships in the time it takes to build one baseship. So what if someone can move through several systems, I will have plenty of fire power there to make him wish he had just stayed home. I would rather have a fleet of battle ships or dreadnaughts than a single baseship, especially in tactical combat.
