    Just saying how come there isfall damage in astroid fields wen there would be little to no gravity

    Because the world isn't infinity and they arent going to have you walk along the bottom of it.

    You think i dont know that they can still have no fall damge in astroid fields make them as big as the larger planets and maybe add some sort of truster system tec to navigate it with out drifting off

    Thats what the Dash/Butterfly Boosts are for. Besides it adds challenge knowing you can fall off them. Besides the Bubble boost can be used for an infinity amout of time providing you boost at a certain time.

    Still iv had moons with more and less gravity with astroid fields if they had to have gravity it should as little as possible

    Well, due to the asteroids size and force, most chance it can change the gravitational pull around you.
    In other words,
    you're screwed.;)
    and you should leave that planet...
    before a b iiiiig asteroid comes

    It's possible that the gravity is coming from the Asteroid's Primary, not the Asteroids themselves.

    So you don't know about the auto-kill mechanic upon touching the "floor" of an Asteroid Field level?

    If you want to get realistic, even in an asteroid field, asteroids are typically tens of kilometers apart, you would be hard pressed to even see another asteroid let alone jump between them.

    And if you want to get pseudo-realistic, the asteroids aren't actually stationary - if you slam into one that is moving in the opposite direction of you than you will still impact with considerable force, gravity or no.

    Is he talking about jumping from one asteroid to another? If so, that's a legitimate complaint. Low gravity should increase the height required to take damage from fall damage (in fact, if it's low enough, you shouldn't take any since your terminal velocity would be reduced)

    Space has no terminal velocity. "terminal velocity" is the point at which air resistance balances out gravitational acceleration so the body stops accelerating and continues falling at the same speed. However space is a vacuum, it has no air resistance, and therefore a body in [non orbittal] freefall will accelerate indefinitely until it collides with the source of gravity.

    as you can see, I cannot physics :V

    thanks for correcting me.

    (It's why a meteorite or something falling into earths gravity well from outer space can reach crazy-insane velocities, like kilometers per second)

    Honestly, im of the opinion there should be no gravity at all, and you should need specialty armor with thrusters to even move around. This way if you get moving too quickly it can still hurt/kill you if you smack into something too quickly.

    It'd certainly give purpose to stuff like the grappling hook. When using the zero-g tech in mad tulips for workign outside my ship, I use the grapple to reel myself in instead of trying to "swim" in slow motion :p

    He/she isn't talking about falling through the map, they're talking about taking damage from falling down from one asteroid to another (to high of a fall) and it absolutely doesn't make sense for there to be fall damage on an asteroid field
