Try flying one through all the fields from its purchase location to New York, using no gates.
Then it'll be a concern.
That said, it's really not much of a problem with the anti-bump thing active.
Also, please, please, whatever you do, do not submit another one of Xing's... creations. The current disaster of a Carrier we have is his.
Well I guess that's just one more reason the hackers shouldn't have the Spyglass in the first place. Large capital ships aren't exactly made for asteroid fields - my best representation of this suggestion would be a certain scene from Star Wars...
I might have some interesting breaking news for the carrier, later tonight.
