Subject: RE: Object Movement Phase

When do non-player controlled objects (such as asteroids, derelict
spaceships, etc.) move?
In 2nd Edition it was after orders are written, but before ship movement
with a provision that fighters may dodge.

I would suggest making it just before ship movement (Phase 4.5). 
If a ship is hit by the object, there is potential for damage (based on
how
massive the object was and how fast it was traveling).
If a ship's course passes through the object, there is potential for
damage.
If the object would hit a fighter group, the fighter group may use
secondary
movement to avoid the object, otherwise there is potential for damage. 

Comments, other suggestions?
