Make every ion storm in the game connected via hidden wormholes

As a zany, alternate idea for fast travel:

In the alpha universe, we used to have these hidden wormholes that did not show up on the HUD, but appeared as a pale grey dot (just like asteroids do) on radar. They didn't tell you where they led to, but if you went through them you could reach special, hidden sectors.

I suggest that every ion storm currently occurring in the game be connected to every other ion storm currently occurring by hidden wormholes. These wormholes should appear as points on a sphere ~20 km in radius with the center at the Storm Exit Point, randomly distributed. As extra credit, these hidden wormholes could occur at the intersection between the sphere and lines connecting two asteroids.

Somewhat random, but still allowing the possibility of fast travel by special means.

it sorta eliminates the fast travel aspect if you have to go around hunting for a dot in a thing that is comprised of nothing but dots

Stop being critical and let's have ion-holes

Sounds like fun since they would come and go. But I'd suggest not connecting every single one. Make it all random

YES +1

Randomized easter egg holes!
