If the asteroid is big enough that you use the FT2 method to determine
if there's a risk for collisions (ie., if the ship's path crosses the
asteroid's base you risk crashing) and the ships really move at the
velocities most FT time/distance scales suggest, a ship which fails its
avoidance roll takes about ten times its current number of hull boxes
in damage. The chance to get a "scrape" rather than a clean miss or an
utterly fatal crash is virtually non-existant..
