Well, you're just wrong. There's no other way to put it. I respect your opinion that you don't want this feature in the game, but you're wrong that rocks in rings remain close to each other for thousands of years. They are constantly being mixed up and moved around.There is no universe in which I support rocks moving through asteroid belts at more than a rate of a few kilometers per thousand years relative to other close rocks
Do you think that asteroids in solar orbit "stay within a few kilometers of each other for thousands of years" - because you'd be wrong about that too. Oh sure, there are specific areas like lagrange points where rocks might congregate, but in general those orbiting the sun are constantly mixed up and moved around.
