Line 112:
* ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' actually manages to avoid this. There are asteroid fields, but they're exactly as they are in reality.
* In ''[[Star Fleet Battles]]'', asteroid fields are thick enough so that any ship or seeking weapon passing through them has a significant chance of taking damage, possibly enough to destroy it. They also interfere enough with sensors to allow ships and bases to hide within them.
* The Cularin system, where nearly all of ''Star Wars'' d20's [[Living Force]] campaign was set, has an asteroid thicket at the edge of the system. Cularin's depiction is unusual in that it avoids both the lack of clear spots and [[2-D Space]] at the same time. There ''are'' clear spots, but they need to be calculated and are only big enough for smaller ships, while larger ships go over/under it. The belt is only a hazard because the gravity well (alongside some other oddities in the system) takes ships out of hyperspace and forces them to travel sub-light within the system and prevents quickly escaping the system.
