IIRC, asteriod collisions in the original were much more damaging? I remember that one asteriod would drop shields, and the next kill armor and probaly the ship (if flying thru with afterburners...). Asteriods were so dangerous and hard to avoid, at least for me, that running away on afterburners thru an asteriod field was only the LAST resort...
I like the ability in the remake to fly around asteroids and the fact that they are so big and moving in random directions... but I think a collision with one should be instant death or close to it. Compared to any of the game's weapons a solid chunk of space rock is like a MASSIVE mass driver projectile. (be cool to use the beam repulsor to fling them at capships or bases)
