Storm with 2 exits
Earlier today i was in a storm with 2 exits. Only one of them showed as a valid warp out point, but you couldnt warp there.
when i entered the sector there was a storm. about 5 minutes later a second exit appeared. The "new" exit showed as a valid warpout point. but i couldnt jump there. the "old" exit didnt even show up as an exit (no you are now 3k away displayed)
I suspect what happend is that 1 storm ended and another began at the same time. Thus the "old" exit disseapeared as far as the server was concerned, but didnt get updated on my hud. The "new" exit updated my hud, but there were allready coordinates in the server for a valid exit point for me so the new ones got ignored.

And if you caught in storm in your destination, you cant exit because you need to mark another destination, but you should abort your mission if you get one.
gcsantiago: That's correct...except you don't have to abort your mission.
The rest of you testers: Ok, respond to Spellcast's post when ready.

incidentally gcs, I had another destination set. logging out and then logging back in corrected the problme for me. i just thought the devs might like to know that there can be 2 storm exits in a sector
What sector and what time exactly?
I would like to check our logs to see if a storm did begin/end there at that time.
I looked at our code and it didn't look like it could create an exit without deleting the old one.
So when you tried to use the new exit point, what happened? Nothing?
One possibility is that your client got a new navpoint but the server was still using the old one.
I changed the code to have the server use all navpoints instead of just the first one.

I was in Nyrius E-4 at uhh 5:58 PM EST on monday.
at the new exit point i got a "press enter to continue on your way" message, but couldnt warp.
At the old navpoint i got no message to warp, the distance indicator under the jump point counted down to 0 but i got no message stating i could warp, and my "distance from large object counter remained a 0. wait, i haave a pair of screenshots, if you want them i can send them to you.
incidentally i may have it backwards, i was jumped by a bot right after the new navpoint appeared and when i was done killing the bot so i could look at them i might have confused them.

A storm started just as you entered the sector but no storm started since then around the time you entered the sector.
You were partially loaded in the sector when the storm started though, so there may be some race condition.
