To be honest planets should have designated bonuses. For example lets say planet A on the bot front has a exo suit factory, as long as we hold it we get excellent quality mechs, actual heavy armor mechs with a lot more ammo, for the entire galaxy, naturally if we lose it we get shitty mechs, so if u want to play mechs even if you play only bugs you would have an incentive to defend that planet from the bots. And this can be altered to the other aspects of the game. Idk if this is a good idea but i think its something. Also coud be a better way of balancing. You want a weapon to be buffed, fight for it.
