vanishing derelicts

I know this probilally will not help much  on the map making side of the problem . However I tend to play a lot of matches on maps that have a lot of deralicts on them.  When playing  a map with many on them Deralicts I try to  Build  a  small yard first and while the  First yard is building,  send you scout to beam crew to the first ship . As soon as the crew has beamed over send  both ships back to repair and recrew .  If the yard has not finished , building manually return the ships to a area near the yard that is being built. When the  first yard is  done building  set the Rally point to where the  bulk of the ships are . After  the constructor  has finished the first yard (Main Repair yard)  build a additional  yard to build up you Races normal ships. On a good day I tend to get up to 70% of the ships  on the map. I tend to go for the ships that are  high on offenseve and defensive stats first. If there are and Newtons I also get them  as soon as possible. If there are and Ferengi Dakora's I get them also as they can tow ships back to the yard freeing up  other ships to  beam over more crew on the other  deralicts.  the explodeing  ships I feel is a  way of forceing one to  take risks. with those risks there is a possability f falure or one of reward.Hey free ships are nice!
