There is no way to boost your defense of a certain map other than adding allies; if the other player is a bit better, they will almost always win since you start on even terms...

Well, I prefer abstract actually. But if you wanted an easy way to "handicap" games liek that you could allow the players a different level of racial points. Saw you are attacking a well developed system. In that case the defender could be allowed 5000 racial points and the attacker only 2000.

Just an idea. Another idea I had was you could specify each race take a deficit on their ship maintenance characteristic to reflect fighting a battle in a system far from their own territory.
