So it was the one I never used right, then. I knew it was one of those...

Hey, it's your idea. You propose it. I've got plenty of ideas to suck up my 
proposals as is, and I'd love to see other people make props about the Grid. 
Now, what if these wrecks were part of a larger category of Grid Objects - 
wrecks and ruins? Whenever something is destroyed, there's a chance it will 
leave remnants on the Grid that can either be mined for resources or 
repaired and used again. Depending on what the object is, the chance that it 
will leave a wreck changes - Scout-class speeders generally get blown to 
little pieces and aren't seen again, but Forts almost always leave some 
ruins, because they're so large. That's basically what you're saying, but 
expanding the idea so that it can be used with more stuff, which is key - I 
think the old Grid died because it had too many specialty parts and it 
didn't all interact very well.
