This has been at the back of my mind all day and now i've remembered:D is there a code to sort out the asteriod field problem you know the one were captial ships don't fire on incoming asteriods in an active field like in fs1 where you are escorting the galatea through the asteriod field

Make them denser, faster, a bit more aggressive, and powerful enough to knock fighters around. Think Empire Strikes Back.

In Empire Strikes Back asteroids were taking out corvettes. I think I like the current asteroids as they're sufficiently lethal to cap ships but also seem weak enough that I can blow them apart with my lasers. I would like to see them made more dangerous to fighters so you have to put significant effort to avoiding them.

i think the larger ones should be almost impervious to lasers (unless you're tucked in behind it and pumping shots at it for a minute or so) but should require missiles to take them out, perhaps a new factor for weapon power in the weapons.tbl?  asteriod damage factor?  that way the asteriods dont have to be tough, regular lasers just wont do much if you lower the factor value :D

How about if you hide behind them and cut your engines, you're ubscured from the enemy's sensors (this would be good for M-player;))
