I might suggest a slight modification:

Each turn the most strongly defended planet does research in either weapons
or shields. Defense strength is just a measure of total ship mass in orbit vs.
planet size.

Planets alternate production of orbital platforms with production of some
chaff-style ship. Maybe not each turn, but perhaps one in three. That mix
would make it just a bit harder to stomp an undefended planet.
