We use a fair scattering of lava rock asteroids on the table. Games
where there's no terrain are fairly boring and in vector there is no
reason to manuevor. With lots of terrain you can hide and divide
oppositions forces. We haven't been much for gas clouds or debries
fields. The odd planet is good, esp if you play with the gravity rules
so you can use it to change course quickly.
