Storm, but no bots

There's a storm in Artana Aquilis F11. There's no bots in the storm. Just... storm. Empty storm.

Cool. Maybe we can use it to trap traders and pirate them.

Is it a sun sector?
I had an empty sun-sector storm, and Relayer said s/he did too.

I had a sun sector storm a few days ago. They actualy add some variety.

It appears with this one, they lost track of which roid sectors had bots in them.

I actually like the empty storm sectors and hope they keep them in.

/me advocates "Feature" status for these phenomenons.

I recall being told that while the storms do happen more often in sectors with asteriods I would still occasionally run into a storm in a non asteriod sector. Just like RelayeR said. it ouwld be great for prirates and a bit of PvP instead of bots.
