I definitely think that meteors should be far more interesting (and ideally chaotic), and a good deal of suggestions laid here so far are quite good!
If we tie the meteor variant suggestion with the second option I suggested (meteors penetrating far deeper, damaging more stuff around them), then there's some chance for real chaos. Radioactive meteors leaving behind a green glow of radiation, irradiating anyone that walks over the ores it drops and their path of travel; denser meteors that have a chance of smashing *THROUGH* the entire station, albeit being much smaller; meteors with erebite cores that, once damaged enough, explode; pinball machine asteroids is a hysterical idea and I want it so bad; and icy reagent comets that released gaseous cryostylane and random chems from a small pool (basic chems like acetone and fluorine).
