I agree, this is definitely something which should be addressed.  Another
possible solution might be to increase the amount of energy which is released
when a player's ship is destroyed.  On the other hand, this could lead to a
bad situation in which the big bad aggressor keeps killing the poor hapless
little guy and grabbing more and more energy from him, so it had better not
be TOO much energy.
