Why would that sound rude? Some were, some were not. What has that got to do with it?
Well, Congress Salvagers generally tend to explode without regening from my experience. I'm just trying to relate to you a key factor of why Salvagers blow up.

Right there. By your own admission, it's the pilot not the ship. There have been many times I've been upset about a ship that could not be shot down. There is a certain gunboat that was flown by an infamous BDS pilot. In the end, it was simply that he was a VERY good pilot. There are a wide range of skills to be found in this community. We have shown plenty of examples of salvagers getting shot down. You seem to be upset because you can destroy some, but not everyone you meet.
Guess what we did about that infamous BDS gunboat I mentioned? We spent A LOT of time practicing and guess what........we got him.
Transports have an extremely low skill level required to be able to survive. You basically just live off common sense. I really don't think the ship should be spared from balancing if we assume that the Salvager is not OP because people don't do basic things such as regen or head to the nearest base.
