John,
     How about trying out one of my ideas. 
  
Scenario Title: One, Two, Three, Free (for all)

A series of 4 games: (human ships only)
No wave, nova, reflex, or closking.
1) 1000 points in escorts.  (Estimate 8-12 ships)
2) 2000 points in cruisers. (Estimate 6-10 ships)
3) 3000 points in capitals. (Estimate 3- 8 ships)
4) The survivors of the prior three battles (as they were at the 
games compleation, no repair, or rearm allowed) are pitted against
each other in the fourth battle.

     This has not been tried out yet, but it may work for you.
