Storm Radar Extenders Should Function in Fog

Apr 12, 2010 Dr. Lecter link
Currently, the L and S port storm radar extenders do not function in the fogged sectors (e.g., Dau K10 and Pelatus C12).

I see no reason to limit the functionality of a non-weapon radar extender that eats up an entire port to ion storms only, especially with all the new content that is planned to occur in the fogged sectors.

On the other hand, of course, storms are far less useful places in which to have extended radar as you guys have tried and failed for years to put in place the one piece of functionality that's absolutly necessary for them to be engaging places for player interaction: a common exit point for all ships caught in a storm.

+1, I already asked. Seems a bug. If it can see in an ion storm, why not in a stable molecular cloud?

+1. Seems pretty obvious to me that this should work.

The problem is the super dense roid sectors that exist in the fog....

Um, no. The problem is that certain of the fogged sectors have super radar killing fog.

The Deneb Super-Fields are a whole different issue.
