How to do target practice?

I'm so new to Foundry that I have yet to finish creating any missions; and now with the change to Timid, none of the tutorials out there will be able to answer my question:
How can I put ships in space that the player can shoot and destroy, that won't shoot back? This isn't a farming mission, so it's fine if there are no loot drops.
Similarly, you know those non-Foundry missions where you have to destroy space stations and asteroids? Can you do that in Foundry too?

2) There's no easy way to do this, you can try hiding ships inside asteroids etc. and when the ships are destroyed make the asteroid vanish

Check out my Foundry missions:
Standalone - The Great Escape - The Galaxy's Fair - Purity I: Of Denial - Return to Oblivion
Untitled Series - Duritanium Man - The Improbable Bulk - Commander Rihan
In reverse order:
2) This only works if the player's ship spans on the map within the attack range (blue circle) of the enemy ships (all of them) from the moment the player enters the map--otherwise the ships will be teleported out of the object.
1) They didn't HAVE to, they could have just flagged them to not droop loot. As usual they had a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that just made things work.
As said by me and others, that's not possible at this time:

That has to be the most polite response to "I'm sorry, you're mistaken, and here's why", that I've ever seen on a Web forum. Good for you.
Now, about my problem? A destructible target that doesn't shoot back? I wanted the player to blow up derelicts. Any ideas?
I suppose you could set an interact with no animation, and set each derelict to despawn (and an explosion to spawn) in response.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Yes, that's as close as you are going to get I'm afraid. The ability to either force a ship to be stationary and/or destructible objects is yet one more functionality that could stand to be implemented.
Then, one thought might to MAKE IT POSSIBLE. Targets who don't shoot back (regardless of their difficulty/level), should not drop loot. Period.
In other MMOs, you generally have it as such that some creatures are flagged as "Neutral" until you start damaging them, at which point they will become "Aggressive" and fight back. You guys keep saying your team is expanding, and expanding... Why not put some of these new guys to good use, to fix old issues and adding new mechanics (without adding entirely new grind systems). One such issue, would be to fix the ability trays becoming filled with abilities you didn't select.
Not the best solution, but as posted above, and as I've heard elsewhere on forum and from hearsay, Dan Stahl and the rest of the team and really looking into this issue and into other related issues.
There is hope!
At least the Timid change now makes something easier in a mission I plan on making.:D

Planning to do something with the Borg? Because the new "Timid" behavior really fits the traditional Borg modus operandi as we saw it on the show: ignore it until it shows that it's a threat.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that! :eek:

No, but I wanted some optional fights, and if they choose diplomacy, it will beam out the combat mobs and replace them with non-combat ones. Or you shoot them.

Wow I didn't think of that either,really useful as I'm now making a borg mission!
