unable to exit ion storm

Sep 28, 2004 andremachado link
Hello,
Yesterday, I tried in vain to exit a sector during an ion storm.
It simply did not work, after reaching the exit point.
Is this a new bug?
I am using linux version.
Regards.

Was the storm by any chance in the sector you wanted to go? That's often not entirely obvious.

The storm was in the sector I wanted to EXIT.

By now, the ion storm should be finished....

I too have experienced this. Only I gave up on exiting the storm and loged out. Now when I logged back in my ship was gone and I had to repurchase it. Within a span of 4 hours this happened three seperate times. It cost me everything I had made and now I cant even afford to buy the ship back ....
