If ships takes damage from asteroids, what's the point of a shield then? It can't protect you from any form of collision. Also, if we do start getting damage from asteroids, at least let us blow them into little bitty pieces. Take the Liberty dreadnought, you got alot of guns facing forward, just blow up anything in your way, you take no damage and carve a dreadnought sized corridor for other ships to use...That sounds like fun actually.
