Question and Suggestion about Limited Resources

[dmm]

When "limited resources" is turned on, what happens to resources that were mined/grown/refined but that were not stored, because the player was past his/her storage limit? Are they lost forever from the galaxy? If they are, they really shouldn't be. They should be returned to the player's colony planets somehow as raw materials that have not been used up but that must be reprocessed. The same goes for the raw materials from ships destroyed in battle. Ideally, a battle should create an "asteroid field" but that might be too hard for the game engine, so an alternative is simply to stick the raw materials on the nearest body in the star system -- planet, moon, asteroids, or star. (Any raw material sucked into a star goes bye-bye, though, at least based on the tech in the demo.)
