Space maps crashing in preview (small asteroid field?)

I've been encountering a lot of crashes when trying to load the space maps for my upcoming mission. Here's the debug prompt that came up during one of them.

I've been playing around with a few things (getting rid of custom ships, moving assets around, changing sky layers, force veryifying, reinstalling, running with Arc) but what's seemed to lick the problem (for the moment anyway) is getting rid of some of the small asteroid field volumes. I'm not sure which one it was (besides one of the S types) but there may be a problem with a content file (at least when it comes to the Foundry preview, I didn't want to try releasing this on holodeck without thorough troubleshooting.)

    TRIBBLE, still happening....except that instead of just crashing I get a SNR, which freezes (which is where crashes used to happen) then after 20-30 seconds the mission eventually continues on.

    ...we'll see how this responds on holodeck in not too long...

    The other thing I'll add here is that this only affecting one of my missions. I've got another two I can test out and they're both fine right now. The only difference I can make out right now is the use of asteroids (affected space maps have them, non-affected ones do not).

    Bug Basher Here!

    Couple Questions, so I can do some testing.

    Was this a completely custom Space map or were you modifying a premade map?

    Fully Confirmed!

    I placed a single Debris - Chunky Field S 01 on a blank map and was able to get a single SNR. got nothing on the other tests.

    I then tested the others and got bupkis, but when I placed 10 of them on a single map, I got a game-client crash.

    Completely custom, and here's a few other details.

    It's spotty whether or not a given bugged map will load when testing it directly but transferring onto it from another map almost always kills the game.

    Chunky Field S 03 also confirmed. Had problems on one, removed it, now it loads just fine.

    I've experienced exactly the same bug. Once I deleted the Chunky Field S's, left the mission, and re-entered, it previewed fine.

    One more thing I'll add: large chunky field does not (as yet) appear to be a problem in the editor or on holodeck.
