Bigger--not always better , 50% option.

We have been using the 50% rule, but appling it to the points costs of ships
not the number of ships. We have used this at competitions and it works really
well. ie. In an 1800 point fleet you could only spend up to 900 points on
capital ships. That means only one SD.

This sounds fine to me - I guess you could also do it on mass rather
than points if you preferred. Certainly stops the idea someone (sorry, can't
recall who) posted a few days ago about some players using X no. of capitals
along with X no. of tiny throwaway scouts. This may well be the simplest
solution to the balanced fleet question.
