As a matter of principle I am always in favor of rewards being based on a scale of diminishing returns. This is how the real world works, any production gains introduced by certain methods eventually lead to marginal returns on investment as the methods are scaled up. In this case roid discovery would get harder and harder the more 'interferance' from exisiting astroids there is.
