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?
