This is what I did with the Interceptor. They make awesome little worker drones. I had 3 salvagers for cleaning up wrecks, and 1 miner (until there wasn't any ore, then I transferred the crew off and scrapped it). I have 2 medium ships patrolling the sector, and taking out pirates, and the salvagers clean up the mess and bring in a nice supply of materials, money and drops. :)
