1 Exit Point Per Storm

As opposed to one per person.

Thanks.

I thought they did this, or was it they were planning on doing this. Hmm cannot remember...

i thought the way storms were currently set up, if you was going from sector A to E you would enter the storm and still come out in your desired sector. likewise another player going from B to D would still come out in his desired sector. so by having just one exit who gets detoured. Hmm guess its the guy who dont want to PVP.

The way it is, if you're in a storm, the point at which you leave the storm is determined by the angle in which you enter the sector. This means that pirates can't hide in storms to pirate people, because everybody ends up having a different exit point.

Which sounds very unlogical to me.

I think the storm exit point should (if not been a fixed point for all players) depend on the DESTINATION sector the player wants moving to. This means also, the storm exit point should MOVE when the player chooses a new destination while in the storm.

Also i think, as the ion storm is moving itself, the exit point (the area where a player can jump) shouldn't be a static point but move itself at a speed of 30-150m/s (depending on the RANGE the player wants to jump).

There could be another type of storm that jams radar. Also, as a special part that could fit in a interslot, there could be a part that allows you to jump anywhere in an Ion Storm or use your radar in this type of storm I am suggesting.

I remember reading *somewhere* that the devs plan on eventually making it so you would actually fly out of the storm, as opposed to some arbitrary point in space.
