Caths have to start off strong because they always fall. The midranked caths, then the top ones until all that's left are those in the dominant alliance.

You can see this happening slightly at the minute. Cath are over-represented in the t100 due to xp (ie more top 100 score cath planets than t100 value/size cath planets) and outside of the t100 the number of cath planets drops off sharply. One third of the t500 caths are in the t100, one third 100-200 and the rest are spread over 200-500. It's always a question of early round explosive growth followed by midround decline. It's just a question of getting the balance right. I really don't think anyone's going to fix them overall.
