Empty space, nothing out there at all?
Wouldnt it be nice if they was tho?
Gas clouds - Obscure visibility, anyone inside is practically invisible untill you right next to them
Asteroid feilds - Small and Tiny ships can nip in out these places with ease, adding +3 to all defence types, Meduim ships can just about manuver without problems but gain no bonus, Larger Ship have great deal of difficulty and risk damaging there ships
Magnetic Storms - Generall quite harmless, but sensors are only half as effective, and missile tracking is seriously hampered, only half missile damage
Energy Vortex - Some strange vortex in space is seriously draining energy supplies, sensors half as effective, engine half as effective, and all energy weapons do only half damage
Heat wave - (better name please) ... heat in the area is so intense it can melt most metals, fortunately the ships hulls thick enough and resistant to the high tempatures, but most mass type weapons burn up to quicky and ammunition quite litterally melts before reaching its target, half damage of all mass weapons
Voltile Gas Cloud - strange highly voltile gas can be triggered by the smallest spark, engine must be shut off and no weapons can be fired, inbuilt safety systems in the ship ensure this, movement reduced to 1, but no combat possible till outside the cloud.
anyone else have idea they like to add, anything that can add more tatics to game would be great, kinda like different terrain defence in civ 4 etc
