Balance versus galaxy size

At the moment there is a noticeable problem with balance versus galaxy size. I've now completed beta 3d games on all galaxy sizes and the following balance issues arise.
tiny and small galaxies
- influence victories are too easy. I've won games within 100 turns!!!
- resources are about right
medium galaxies
- best all round balance.
- too many identical resources leads to walk away victories.
large and gigantic galaxies
- influence is perfect
- resources are overpowering.
I would suggest the following balance changes.
influence: scale down as galaxy size decreases
resources: scale down as galaxy size increases
Perhaps resource effect should be divided by the number of systems? This would fix the problem for larger galaxies and end game expansion while keeping those initial few resources very valuable.
