Random Asteroids gosh darn it!

Why were they snuck out and never allowed back in grr!

from Sins Forums

Patiently patiently been updating and reading recent patch notes and beta notes and no, no sign that asteroids will ever get their randomy goodness back! Ok seriously! Why were they changed to begin with? I don't recall seeing threads about this aspect of the game or suggestions asking for it so it was stealthily sneaked in a few patches back. Then just a small change back but still no return to randomness.

All I'm asking for is an OPTION to have random asteroids back. Just. One. Little. Toggle. Random asteroids: on/off. Pleeeeeeeeease! :( sniff!

Also please read carefully before any non-Stardock person replies about how you don't want random asteroids: I'm asking for an OPTION. A Toggle. So you can keep your precious fixed/semi fixed asteroids while I and others who liked the old original system can at least have the chance to play with some more randomness like the game first was!

Why won't anyone from Stardock address this? I've never seen any official person say anything about asteroids except after the deed was done (in patch notes) C'mon pweeeeease! I'll play more Sins of a Solar Empire if you do and so will others I'm sure! I'll even buy Sins 2 if you just add this one thing! Random asteroidid-did-diddlies!

I'm just wondering, why do you want random asteroids so badly?

Wait...what?

I know they were fixed there for a while, but the past few games I've played have had a random number of resource asteroids surrounding planets. Are you playing with an old patch or something?

I don't remember which patch it was but when the game was released asteroids were random in nature. So they weren't tied in to the planet. Unless I'm imagining this! Then there was a patch which fixed the number of asteroids and coupled resources to planet type. Then a bit of reversion to alter the number of asteroids but still coupled to the planet type. Before all this asteroids were really random I am sure. Different planets might have different resources.

I'd like that random option back because it added variety!

Umm the number of resource asteroids IS random, usualy between 2 and 4...
