==General Format==
*Asteroid.tbl is used to define all asteroids and debris pieces in-game.
*'''#Asteroid Types'''
*Asteroid and debris data
*'''#End'''
*'''$Impact Explosion:'''
**Defines the effect used when weapon strikes at asteroid
**Syntax: ''Filename''
*'''$Impact Explosion Radius:'''
**Defines the radius of the effect
**Syntax: ''Value'', (meters)


==Asteroid and Debris Data==
*Used to define asteroid types and their physical characteristics
*First three entries are different sized asteroids, small medium and large respectively
*Next three are debris pieces for the 1st species in the [[species_defs.tbl]]
*And so on in series of three


===$Name:===
*Defines the name of asteroid or debris object


===$POF file1:===
*Defines the name of the model file (.pof) used for asteroid or debris model
*Syntax: '''String.pof''', filename


===$POF file2:===
*Defines the name of the alternate asteroid or debris model of the set size
*Syntax: '''String.pof''' or '''none''', filename


===$POF file3:===
*Defines the name of the alternate asteroid model
*If the object in question is has '''$POF file2:''' set as ''none'' then this entry is not needed
*Syntax: '''String.pof''' or '''none''', filename


===$Detail distance:===
*Definies the distance where the change between different Levels-Of-Details (LODs) occurs
*Syntax: ( '''Integer list''' ), comma separated '''integers''', one for each LOD
**Example: (0, 30, 80, 150)


===$Max Speed:===
*Defines the maximum velocity of the asteroid
*Syntax: '''Float''', meters per second


===$Damage Type:===
{{Table36|
*Defines the damage type of the asteroid explosion. '''REQUIRES ADDITIONAL TABLE FILE'''.
*Syntax: '''String''', name of the damage type as referenced in [[armor.tbl]]}}

{{Table37|
*3.7 branch lacks '''$Damage Type:''' option}}


===$Expl inner rad:===
*Radius at which the full explosion damage is done
*Syntax: '''Float''', meters


===$Expl outer rad:===
*Maximum radius at which any damage is done
*Syntax: '''Float''', meters


===$Expl damage:===
*Amount of damage done inside the inner radius
*Syntax: '''Float''', damage


===$Expl blast:===
*The intensity of the blast effect when you're within the outer radius
*Syntax: '''Float''', blast effect


===$Hitpoints:===
*Defines the hitpoints of the asteroid or debris piece. Hitpoints are modified downward by skill level.
*Syntax: '''Float''', hitpoints


==Sample==
*Single asteroid entry fos retail FS2 table
