Ugly game! Many good suggestions have already been made, so I will not 
repeat them. Maybe you could suggest a mini-campaign. 16 systems. 16,000

total points per side. Fleets are designed before the start of the 
campaign. Rules are set BEFORE fleets are designed. All ships must have 
FTL drives or be brought in by tug/tenders (which count toward the point

total). Each side, secretly, will distribute it's fleet to the 16
systems 
before the start of the campaign. 16 sealed envelopes work well to avoid

"favorable mistakes". Ships will NOT be able to be re-distributed during

the campaign. Uncontested systems go to the occupier. Contested systems 
will be decided by battle. Side with the most systems at the end wins.
To 
build monster ships, one side will have to forfeit 1 or more systems.
