Remember the granularity of FT is based on d6s. So anything that's got a more than 1/36 chance of happening is difficult to model. A "roll 5d6, and if they all come up ones, there's a chunk of debris that makes an attack on a ship within 2", resolve as a missle attack" mechanic is inelegant, and so unlikely to produce a result that most players would ignore it.
