... sometimes some precursor race leaves some bit of oddness floating around.

This sponge is a serious rendering challenge - maybe I'll just settle for seeing if I can get some pyramids on system moons ...

how about crashed ships sticking out of the station hull near the docking slot?

It's a shame sub-entities can't have sub-entities, or else you could have some fractal fun with something like that (at least until the game ground to a halt and then crashed when it hit the memory limits).

Cool kind of Borg like but even better.

That's four iterations - I think the face count for that passed the quarter-million mark. It's not big but you'd know when one popped up.

Still, it may be possible to simulate one with actual holes for the bug ones, do not render areas for the small ones, and just matt black dots for the really small.
