Possible Solution

[Knjaz]

First of all, caps are sooo easier to kill then fighters and bombers when both sides have large numbers on the field. So if anything, it's the latter 2 that should have restrictions, not the caps.

Secondly, why not use a more... common approach? Like, a pair of weapon platforms in front of Crete's and Malta's docking rings, armed with LM/Cerberus? (with a normal refire rate, not Isis ones...)

Also, I'd suggest that for ALL of Houses as well. With the only difference, that House capital planet would be heavier protected.

Weapon platforms armed with BS missiles in front of Manhattan, New Tokyo, New London and New Berlin? (nobody raids those, so they won't break any balance)

Another thing is that I really don't understand is why Corsairs complain about the raids. It's like the main thing that keeps Gamma alive.

Look at Malta now. Or at Order. Some outcast players were very grateful to us when we raided them, for example.
