So: Asteroids placed in specific positions via FRED cannot be destroyed or collided with. Asteroids generated by the asteroid field editor cannot be used in SEXPs - e.g. in an 'is_destroyed_delay' SEXP.

Is there a simple way that I'm not aware of to make a lone asteroid destroyable. Alternately, is there a way to count the number of asteroids destroyed if they're generated by the asteroid field editor?

EDIT: Shortly after writing this, I decided to just take the "no collide" flag out of the table, but an answer to one of the above questions would be best interesting.

Unfortunately the answer to both is no.  Removing the no_collide seems to be the only way.  Might have to put that one on my try to make a sexp when I have time list. 

BTW you can table the standard field asteroids and add those to the missions.  Just copy the entry (without the no_collide) and change the pof to the field models.  You only need to do 3 then just use texture replace for the other colors to save ship slots.

Thank you very much! I suspected that, but it's good to have confirmation.
And thanks for the bit about swapping the POF/texture/table entry of the asteroids, very useful for reference.
