Well, the way I'd try to find a new balance for CA and AR would be a little step at a time. For instance, limit "instaforming" to 5-10 clicks per turn, and make it cost 10-20 Resources. Still fast, still cheap, still mostly CA, but a start in the road to more tweaking if the desired rebalance is not achieved.

I think the ARs main weakness is the mid-game, when their SBs become weaker than typical warfleets and their shipbuilding is constrained by mineral availability. So, make the "kill starbase" order work differently against ARs, allow them to stack more things in the same hulls, give 'em more SB hulls to play with, allow the building of "extra" purely military SBs, or at least make some remoteminers easier to build. Taming the Mineral Fountain would also help in the diplomatic front. Sherlock

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
