I like having asteroids too, but not nearly as much as some quadrants in FQM. I usually make partially filled asteroid belts in rings that have few planets. Perhaps I do this to simulate pulverized planets or perhaps I do it because a planet just failed to form there. Most of my asteroids are found in rings 3 and 4, but not always.

I think in Space Food Empires, I've made 35 single star system types alone ranging from 3-10 planets each under this system. Throw in another 10 system types for binary, and 5 more for trinary - and that's a lot of systems that have planets. In a large galaxy, you might only get 3 or 4 of the same system types.
JLS you should keep the FQM for the Players and follow Captain Kwoks lead and add more new maps that was described.
