A good thought, and one that hadn't occurred to me before... hmm...
Well, the difference in point costs is really a matter of magnitude, rather than of computation, so there -should- be a way to get reasonably comparable point values.
Let's take a couple of examples:
The Indomitable from the Compendium is worth 197 points -- in Starmada X, it would be worth 317.
The Excalibur from the Compendium is 151 points -- in Starmada X, it would be worth 242.
I guess a good starting point would be to increase Compendium point costs by 60%.
