Yes, but quite often some of those Outer Rim planets have lots of resources you can exploit to make more stardestroyers.
Although I was always a fan of making dreadnaughts for planetary garrisons. Cheap, and can hold a squadron of fighters.
I never much wasted my time with those, although they did get built quickly. I only used the Star Destroyer capital ships myself. I'd always nab a few of those really resource rich outer rim planets right off the bat and then set up huge factories on them with 8-10 Shipyards to create fleets.
By the time you get a good fleet with a death star you've sent out some probe droids and have a decent idea of what planets are rebels and you can head out and blow them up. Usually I'd have to blow up 4-5 planets before finding the base. Vader and a few diplomats could usually keep the planets in check long enough for me to take care of the business at hand.
And that's usually the last thing I need to win the game so it's all over after that anyway, so if I lose a planet or 3 in the process who cares.
