We usually run 1000-2500 FT games. Usually it is around 1500.

I have a large number of scout/couriers (picked them up as a package
deal), 
but rarely use them in a game. I plan to make a scenario one day that 
focuses on small ships.

I have never played a pick-up DS game, so do not know how to advise you.
