Seekers and Strikeforces jump out of Ion storms regularly

Nov 27, 2004 FutureRuler link
A bunch of Aerna Seekers and Strike Forces were flying in the Dau system today, and they flew across an ion storm sector. They emerged in it, as was expected, but they didn't fly towards the storm exit point. Instead they flew out to 3000m and to my great surprise warped out of the system. I don't remember which specific sector it was, but it was on the way from Dau B9 to Dau O6, around 8:48 on the US East Coast time zone.

On a slightly related note, the same bots, failed to emerge from the wormhole from Dau to Nyrius when they went trough it. They appeared on the sector list in Nyrius B10, but did were not physically in the sector. (This is what usually happens when a sector is loading for someone, but these were bots.) Later a few other seekers and strike forces emerged from the same wormhole just fine, but the original ones remained stuck.

These two occurrences were unrelated, I presume.

No two players (or bots, I assume) are assigned the same exit point in the same storm at the same time. If you and I entered the storm, you would see one way out, and I would see another probably in a different direction. I don't think the bots are bugged there.

Not sure what happened with the wormhole though.

All the bots ever do is go outside the roids to the 3k limit, then warp. they don't care about a storm exit point.
