That was quite annoying in a recent movie sequel that was otherwise relatively hard scifi. Do script writers read tv tropes?

There are localized debris fields though. Enough to poze a hazard for space travel, but it's not the stationary pieces of rock that we see in movies or games. It's usually fast moving objects that make specific useful orbits dangerous.

For me, it’s the bombs. Real life bombs don’t beep or blink a red LED.

Well, they could if they're inside a beeper.

Hilarious!
