I would like it so it takes into account overall general military force and history as well but does depend on your government type so maybe some expansionist empire might be ok with low PPV in their home system because they have strong forces in the bordering systems, the more enemy activity closer to the heart of the empire the more PPV requirements go up and if there is a stealthy strike or huge loss in nearby system then PPV requirement goes crazy high as citizens demand immediate protection from the perceived threat.
