Also remember.... traitors are abound, so PVE stuff can be abused.
The other reason is that nanites asteroid contain useless carbon fiber and they can drop useless iridium alloy on death. Which you can then stare at wondering why you bothered or make a moderatly stronger than average spear maybe ? Thats about it.
(Unless you happen to be on Clarion where carbon fibers and iridium have excellent properties for making nuclear reactor components.)
Funny asteroïds like the trench one are fine and we could use more of them. As long as they are not too dangerous and don't end up cluttering the mining process too much. If you are unlucky, it can be hassle to find the basic ores you need to really get mining going. I wouldn't like to pull of menagerie of dangerous critters in a row sending me to medbay regularly. Also new miners already have a high death rate. This could make it worse, in addition to traitor stuff.
