If I recall 'space debris' is what you mine for resources.

That could turn very nasty after big battles, or (depending on damage taken) make AoE mines a heck of a lot more dangerous.

not sure about the name, maybe just "wreckage", but it sounds like a good job for the clean-up drone and im all for giving them a larger role.

do want to make this "wreckage" impassible and at least non-build zone until cleared? or do we really want them to be damaging like mines? if they were to be sources of damage, would they be allied to any player or neutral undiscriminating damage?

And wouldn't letting the debris pile up around a defensive zone just entrench it further?

also, some battles are quite large... wouldn't massive piling up of debris cause more trouble for CPU / RAM? I like the idea, but if something like this will be implemented in the future, I hope it's not gonna make large fights even slower than they already are (at 2000+ ships I'm starting to get trouble)
