But I would prefer they were varied between races rather than internally unless there is reason (like making an emp ship that does not fire first have higher resistance so it is more likely to get a shot in). Hence I ask for the reasoning.

Im pretty sure there was a well thought idea behind the emp being "uneven"
The initial universe ship ratio was: 11,5% xan FI, 15,5% cat/etd CO, 17% xan/etd FR, 12% ter/zik DE, 7% zik/cat CR, 16,5% ter/etd BS, and 20,5% out of roiding class def ships.

So it would be one way of adding something to the set based on what the statsmaker thought would be the most built ships.
CR being less picked, maybe the counter was to make the most built BS ship being weaker vs EMP? If so, giving Tycoon/Wyvern crap EMP resistance was a good call imho.
