Use some small files to expand the holes for the DDs. I generally use 
a pin vise to drill out the holes in many cases. Even the larger 
ships get modified with a deeper and wider base for better retention. 
In the case of the scout ships, use some plastic bases. Those 
actually work really well for the smaller ships and they have smaller 
more uniform holes than the metal bases do. I like to save the big 
metal bases for the larger ships.
