Stop support spam? Easy. No stacking of bonus multipliers. Just once. So even if you have 23641278 CM enhancing ships, the bonus is still 20%.
Non-combat support ships would be nice. Think of them like mobile command centres, just like the command frigates of Homeworld II.
Give them some degree of armor, good countermeasures and no weapons.
