Firstly, i didnt try your mod. I think in stock weapon platforms ARE already QUITE difficult to attack, ever tried to conquer a world which is massivly fortified with satellites and weapon platforms ? I dont see a ways to succesfully conquer or glass such worlds, not talking about usage of massive fleets.
I agree though, that bases should be strenthened. When thinking about bases, i always think about things like Babylon 5 or or the Federation Base guarding that Wormhole. They should have more hitpoints and firepower, compared to stock.
My 2 cent for you
