asteroid amounts??

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've been playing DA only two days now, but I have noticed that it doesn't matter what I set the asteroid frequency to. No matter what, its 3 asteroids per capital solar system, and there are never any more, is this a bug?

I think home system asteroids are specified in the xml. Asteroid settings do have a major effect on other asteriods.

I know home systems never change, but they are the ONLY asteroids I have seen in the game.

Even at the highest level, asteroids aren't all that common. In a gigantic map with 300 stars, maybe ~40 of them have asteroids when set on "abundant".

Try reducing the number of planets you are using. They seem to appear in greater numbers if there are less planets around. Atleast, thats my experience.

I just checked, my homeworld in my current game has 4 asteroid fields. I do wish I'd remembered to check everyone else's homeworlds, though

I've noticed this as well. The asteroids setting seems to have no effect from rare to abundant.
