' Wrote:- Most of the asteroid fields/belts in the game should not exist due to the way gravity acts on solid matter in a stellar orbit
An explanation for their formation could be the gravitational force of jump holes, whose strength has never been defined. The best contender for a realistic system would be Omega-11, the extra fragment fields being explained by the jumpholes in every single one. Of course you've got Omega-3 which has the Burgess Ice Field in which Freeport 1 is located and that has no jump holes to pull it into that formation. Then again, clouds as dense as the ones seen in Freelancer apparantley don't exist in space either.
Back on topic, I was at Cambridge Research Station a few days ago and decided to read the rumours. According to the Cryer NPCs there, fighters and other small ships don't generate gravity of their own but larger ships do.
