I mentioned something like this before. Easy way to do it would be get rid of the 'Only 1 SY Comp per base' limit. Then Just say Escorts-LCs require at least 1 SY (ergo planets can build them too), Cruisers-BCs require a base with 2 SYs, and DNs and Baseships need a base with 4 SYs. That way you can't just start building Dreadnoughts on the tiny planet you just colonized with 5M people. Only your most developed worlds would have the Starbase needed to build DNs (this might get interesting if to build a Starbase you first needed a base with 2 SYs on it!), and therefore would be even more valuable.

This would also make small "lightning strikes" and raids much more useful, and require even large empires to defend their major construction centers.
I also like the fact that this would allow you to have some major construction centers in remote backwater systems with no planets, hidden from prying eyes.
