Asteroid belt

Maybe some kind of toggle-able (in quality settings) asteroid belt for the default map, with an option to add it to systems? It would have a render distance and would be procedurally generated, maybe even with particle effects (which would be taxing, so the particle effects would be turned off by default). This would be further enhanced if you added tsampoy's popular asteroids suggestion. It would also be cool if they occasionally collided and blew up!
