You are kidding? So that small rocket pod that fires only once in 30 turns is much better than the Ground Cannon III or small Anti-Proton? This doesn't make the most sense.

Run some combat simulations or test games...

Just a small note: Natural Merchants trait is a viable choice in some mods, there Spaceports are much more expensive than in stock. I faced this problem in Adamant - I have to invest 12000 and spend 8 turns to build one.
