Ok the idea is that astroids are put into the game on some systems and form a belt around the sun. They are immovable but slow you down to half speed when you cross the belt. They may be patchy and irregular as well.
The ship idea is that you have the ability to go to a starbase and take a "mission" from some space hippys hanging around the bank who want you to build them a flying asteroid ship. You then go out and have the ability to collect some of the astrid belt. You then bring it to a mountan planet with an atom smasher and create a ship out of your 100 astroids and 1k uranium. ( Or for noobs they go to a starport and pay an amount of credits to have the un make it) The ship is called the " asteroid" and is as follows. (Very open to debate)

Shields: 9000
Primary Weapon: Plasma Gun
Special Weapon: collision. sort of like afterburners ( only works when you are at top speed) the astroid ship crashes headlong into the opposing ship and deals out a large (2500) amount of damage. then it gets up to speed and trys to repeat.
