Alternate exit for convoys in ion storm
It is happening again, very frequently, as most userbase can confirm.
Since it was asked for exact timedate:
* GMT Sun Mar 14 18:18:23 - Initro I07 - Solo mission
* GMT Sat Apr 03 01:55:38 - Arta Cel. F09 - Group mission
* GMT Sun Apr 11 17:07:48 - Arta Cel. F09 - Solo mission
* GMT Mon Apr 12 00:54:47 - Jallik C05 - Solo mission
*** GMT Mon Apr 12 01:16:43 - Pherona C12 - Group mission
This mission had more wrong exits.
I have screenshots with /time and convoy+exit points displayed.

Thanks for the report, Alloh. I'll look into it.
One more to help, this one left me over 12KM from my exit while covering 2 moths.

Met 4 storms during this escort. 1st broken, 2nd ok, 3rd broken, 4th don`t know for sure, but seemed ok, since the convoy was attacked while I was travelling back 11km to 3rd exit point, and destroyed shortly after I entered 4th.
Reference Odia N-7, GMT Apr21, 23:42:00.
So it was proven that is not in every storm that it happens.

A possibly related observation (though if it isn't my bad for clogging the thread):
A few days back (I sadly don't remember the exact day/time) I was chasing Azumi around. She went into an ion storm to try to lose me, but ended up with the same exit point (and possibly the same starting point +- 1000m). However, when she later took an escort, the convoy had a different exit point than she did.
The reason I bring up the chase scenario is that I jumped into the storm sector within a couple seconds (if it even took that long) of Azumi jumping in. My hunch is that the discrepancy was timing-related, but then again I have absolutely no idea.

The voys heading off in a different direction in storms has been that way for the five years I've been around... don't know if that helps at all.
I haven't found this to be a problem. I just proceed to my exit and wait there until I see the text in the chat window telling me my voy is jumping out then I jump pout from my exit.
As long as I jump out at the same time and we all arrive in the next sector at the same time then everything is fine.
I have no idea if I get payed less for not staying with in a certain distance of the voy during those storms. It's not like we get an itemized invoice when we get payed. lol

I believe it currently pays you less if you don't stick close. I've noticed this several times aswell.
If storm is empty, I simply ignore convoy and do as PolarBear did.
BUT when storm is a sector full of assaults and other nasty bots, if you do so, they will be destroyed.
Even worst is when you meet 2 consecutive storms with bots, you cover convoy on 1st storm, and while you travel 12km back to real exit point, the convoy is destroyed on next storm :(
happened twice to me...
Also, I noticed that every time I met 2 consecutive storms, 1st is broken and 2nd gets correct exit. Or 1st ok and 2nd broken.

BUMP
Issue continue happening a lot.
A raw estimate will be around 1/3 of sectors show this bug.
More info that can help:
-Issue happens both in stormy sector as normal sectors, where is harmless, but probably related.
-Many times convoys have one or two fighter flying alongside convoy, but not grouped to it. Those seems to NOT be affected by this bug, heading towards radar "+" allways.
Mom, please, any updates? Do you need more bugged convoy reports?

you shoulda seen the original voys that just went 3000m out like a normal sector then warped!
But yes, this can be annoying

Another fresh one:

Convoy from Edras to Latos C2
Storm in Nyrius K13, wrong exit in storm, crowded of bots. And 2 wrong exit points during same convoy, in normal sectors.
Another weird thing, there were a bot not grouped with me who was killed and reported in Mission Logs
*Bozomon Deko was killed by *ApuTech-5 Guardian JHD-0410-47
The group was me and 2 moths only. Where did that other one came from?
Another bug, it seems...

That is one of the Centurion or Vulture escorts, perhaps a WTD.
sure, but WHY isn`t it grouped with convoy?
