With prolonged game-play, there is a lot of destroyed ships and body fragments all around.

I was curious if this bothers other players, and what their preferred junk removal system is..

My preferred removal system: A clone with a heavy digger.

One dropship.

Over 9000 bombs.

Plasma Tunneler Mk 3.
It works.

Modding the gibs so that there is very little scrap or little pretty sparkles when dropships explode. I usually get bored before the debris covers up my base, and subsequently nuke it with a game-ender anyway.

Data mentioned in devlog comments something about this being fixed in the next build, so.

I just made all the craft gibs be sand material, so when a gib falls on gibs that have become terrain, it crushes it's way through, reducing pile-up greatly, but leaving a little bit, and it's sturdy enough to walk on. But if you need to clean it up, a medium digger cuts through with ease.

I am also interested in data's solution to this.

I'm thinking it may be something like a second terrain layer (that all gibbed/dead actors turn into) that has something to do with structural integrity and weight... though I'm not sure if it will be something as complicated as that, but looking at other (basic) games stuff like that wouldn't be to hard to implement.

It's probably just weaker materials/stronger dropships/better AI.

It does get pretty annoying, so I'm wondering what Data will do to the fix it.

Probably something too brilliant for us to guess.

I just make the enemies 'paradrop' in, using no dropships/ rockets, only jetpacking down from the top of the screen.

but...that would suck.
they come from a space station.

Well... just imagine that a big dropship released them in the air then. Works for me!

i guess, but removing dropships kinda takes away alot of gameplay.
