just one battles per turn

IMHO I dont think that would really work. Whilst I appreciate that the "one battle per movement point" is a bit artificial, I think one battle per turn would be more open to abuse.

Imagine if a huge armada is bearing down on one of your planets. You need a couple of turns to get a defense fleet to save the planet. How do you stop the ravaging armada dead? easy, you just send 1 freighter or 1 colony ship to attack that fleet, and then surround it with 1 small ship apiece in each sector and hey presto, when it attacks this weak opposition, it gets stopped dead.

Just MHO
