 Wink Dan, could you have like 2 or 3 random meshes for asteroids and small objects (singular) that don't have enough mass? If you made 5 you could do this:

1: 1000-400 km diameter objects, oval ish with a few bumps, i.e. Pallas
2:400-200 km diameter objects, more obliquity and some bumps
3:200-100 km, alot of objiquity, more bumps
4:100-50km, alot of obliquity, alot of bumps
5: - 50km, same but i.e. eros

an maybe 2 for each of the five categories a few updates later, and 2 more meshes, one for "binary", i.e. touatis is  more like a rubble double, haha  Grin. And the other for a rubble pile.
And have odds for each one like 95/100 singular, 3/100 rubble pile, 2/100 rubble double  Grin. For example.

I want the ones in blue within the next or the one after update.

That's a great idea. It would make everything feel more realistic.

And thank you for being so direct with when you hope to see this feature. Smiley

The Touatis asteroid that you mention:

I've added the idea to the list.
