Well, I really belive the missions, the Dockyard raid in particuler, will be manageble once the "crap" ships are out of the list, which Dizzy says, will be done. It is due to the fact that the list of ships to be pulled wasn't submitted in time before the server start with all the other things going on.
Best way to handle them for now is to make sure you have a wing.
Jinn and I were able to take the Dockyards in less than 10 min consistantly last night.
And Jinn can do it OK....well, you know...
