Abstracting proliferant objects (DL June 3)

#1
"I realized that, in reality, memory is basically no concern whatsoever if we just apply some cleverness to the few objects that will be extremely numerous (asteroids....erm...not sure if there's anything else that falls into that category)."

I can think of a few things that potentially could be put into that category.

1. Acceleration lane gates
2. Civilian cargo/container ships (like our trucks)
3. Civilian taxi/personal transport ships (like our cars)
4. Invasion fleet transports (If planetary assaults/control is implemented)

Having number 2 and 3 in large amounts in well developed systems would certainly help with making the world come alive. Think minor traffic congestion before trade lanes, and trade lanes with multiple lanes in each direction to overcome this :)

All of these could be unarmed, but need to be able to move, unlike asteroids.
