Yes, I prefer a 20 to 1 ratio over the default 10 to 1. But even this makes it too easy to destroy a planet with normal ship-to-ship weapons. If you crank it up further, though, then you have to boost the planetary weapons to fantastic damage levels to make them work well. And that means they are also amazinlgy powerful against WPs if you can get close enough to use them. I don't think this is right. We are hoping that MM will make a new special damage type that cancels the damage ratio against planets and use it for planetary weapons. Then you could have dedicated bombardment ships that are good at wiping out population and facilities, but aren't good at taking out fortified weapons installations, and you'd need a properly coordinated fleet to take out a planet -- as you should.
