Ion storm thoughts

Apr 27, 2010 pirren link
1. Make all Ion storms UNMONITORED, even in faction space.
For example: I want to sit in Ion storm, using Raptor in UIT space and rogue everything that moves wrong without faction loss.

2. Put sectors with stations in "random Ion storm list" too, especially those at wormholes.

3. Remove "Capitols FF" in Ionstorms.

4. Old story. Add another "weather" effect, for example Radiation or heat (near sun) that hurts(!). DPS: 1/3/5

1) done.
Check http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/23109

2) Cool! And also invite the Hive! I really liked when that happened in Conq Station. Make such stations emit distress calls on /11.

3) So, when a station is in storm it loses Guarded status?? Explain.

4) Yes, totally! Limit permanence near stars and add Heliocene roids there! Affects 2 sectors wide. In ASCII, star is * and ships and number is damage factor per second: *|5|2|-|---
Make damage proportional to star size.

I think bot sectors in capital systems are monitored... not 100% sure on this point though.

They are. Point number one has not been addressed, Alloh is just a bit confused. Also, ion storms currently can't happen in Capitol systems.

I agree that ion storms should be able to happen in station sectors.
