I think that it would be cool if FFG would release some "Space Junk" expansion where every item affects you differently.
for example:
Nebulae Clouds- whenever you travel through a cloud you roll a dice and if its a hit you take an ion token, you can shoot from within a cloud but it can only be range 1 or 2 max
Turrets- (only for Death Star maps) they will be circle with a diameter of Range 1, you roll 2 die and take a hit accordingly, however you can still attack if you are overlapping or you can still take actions or both
Space Debris- (like torn up cruisers and such) for these the moment you land on the token you take an automatic hit but you can still take actions
Abandoned Proximity Mines- (from battles past) for this one we can use the same rules as the slave 1 mines
Comets- every turn the players alternate to move the comet a 1 FWD (between the pegs or nubs only, so that it moves in a straight line) when it goes off the map you start another on the opposite side with the player who's turn it is selecting the spot. If hit you automatically take 2 hits because of the force of the impact.
Each obsticle will have their own amount ( like asteroids there's six, turrets can be 3, clouds can be 4 etc.)
Manx the way you choose is that both players vote for the one they want and if they disagree then they can roll for it or flip a coin or whatever.
I think it would be pretty cool if they did it, it would add variety
