Having thought about what could be done to combat the use of depot-heavy planets (16 depots? Geez), I think simply increasing their power requirement would work. There's been talk of making depots use planet resources and other fixes, but maybe giving them a power requirement of 10 is all that's needed.
ECM forts used to cause a big outcry, and now "depot forts" are causing their own problems. A ship can sit there at a depot fort and remain virtually immune. Barren planets can currently fit 17-18 depots depending on if the builder wants barracks or a starport. Non-barren planets can fit so many depots I bet an entire fleet would have trouble damage a lone ship orbiting it.
What's the chances of having depot power requirements changed a bit? 5 is just too little for a building that's so useful and so abusable. A increase to 10 halves the number that can be built on a planet, but still leaves plenty of room for a good number of them without allowing so many that's it's absurd and abusable. And it's easy to do I'm assuming.

And create enemy elites in the process  Not always a good idea. And any command station in orbit can just replace them cheaply and quickly.

Introducing: "planet depo limit"
You know they can do it, just fight out what the right number should be. My vote is for 9.

A limit of 9 or so is kinda what increasing their power requirement would do, without actually implementing a hard limit. Naturally arid, ice, ocean and terran planets would have higher limits.
The only other thing I can think of that doesn't require a hard limit is to make depots use up planet resources when repairing. And I don't like that idea quite as much as a simple change to the power requirement.
