What the title says... storms should buffet the ship about, especially upon entering or at high speeds.

Effect wouldn't be too strong against larger ships, and could be effectively countered with F/A mode and sufficient spin torque, but for smaller ships like vultures, you could take a beating.

Turbulence should affect less on little and agile ships than on big moths.

Pirren, a larger ship is going to be hit by more turbulence, being bigger.

+1.

Actually its the combination of both size and mass that determine how much buffeting is experianced.

Remove the god damned things and their little fogs too.

sounds like a neat idea. also, ignore fluffy.

Actually, I agree with fluffy.

Why not add this as a type of weather, a large grey cloud of strong turbulence, that doesn't pull you out of a jump?

>>"Actually its the combination of both size and mass that determine how much buffeting is experianced."

More mass/moment of inertia = less effect
More surface area = more effect
greater thrust/spin torque = less effect

I guess it stands to reason that, while larger ships have a greater surface area, their greater mass/surface area ratio, and better thrust characteristics will make them less susceptible to being thrown about.

Liken it to a 747 versus a cessna. A 747 is going to be larger, and have more area exposed to the wind, but the turbulence is going to be a lot less violent than a cessna, because of its greater inertia.

+1, make it an ion storm's feature.

Turbulences and traverse flows... almost like a strong river or tide (one directional vector pilot must compensate to reach exit)
