How can i have a type of asteroid without boulders. It seems that the keys
inside the shipdata plist does not affect them

(This can also take a probability, as in no_boulders = 0.5;)

As an additional information: Eric Walch pointed out to me that only asteroids with primary role 'asteroid' produce boulders at all. If you create some custom asteroid and call it via any other role, it produces metal fragments like a ship, not boulders.

Strange i was under the impression the since 1.70, look here:
https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=4061 in the change log, the
scripted asteroid behave the same way as the ones added by the populator

Well, yes, they still work like the ones from the populator, but only if they have primary role asteroid. If you spawn an asteroid with the role "my_fancy_asteroid_role", then it will produce metal fragments on destruction. Maybe we need to make it so that boulders are generated if the asteroid contains the role asteroid in its roleset, rather than checking for primary role only.
