Storm No-Fire Time

Aug 19, 2004 roguelazer link
I was caught in a storm with some a3's today and I noticed something. The "no fire" time with a storm seems to be -significantly- longer than it is in a normal sector. Is that a feature, or a bug devs?

Its the time it takes to restore full power to all ship functions after warping.

But why is it longer in storms? It's annoyign because in storms you are usually surrounded by hostile bots, and you're sitting there waiting to be able to shoot.

Boost still works. Use it.

Hmm. I don't think the storm delay is supposed to be longer than normal delay. We'll talk about removing the no-fire delay for jumps.

Has anyone timed it? These no fire times seem a lot longer when your frantically smashing your mouse button to smash a volley of flares at that def bot... or AIII in your case.

I hate (read: dispise) those no fire times. Btw: Can you still be damaged without being able to shoot? :S

The no-fire times are really, really annoying. Can they get removed?
