| why do that, if a cat chews thru a power line the voltage or amperage is the same as when you grab the same line, you will most likely survive cuz your bigger. |
| addition:
grab a spork and a bicycle whiteout wheels, go to a open field, Put the bicycle in the field and the spork about 150 meters away. next up wait for thunder. Who do you think lighting will strike first ?
If its bigger it has more chance to attract positive and negatived electricity, yes you do have more chance to service but you get struck more.
Second about shields, even ion/electric/particle storms will hit shields, but it all depends on the shield generating method used. If there magnetic shields and its a electric storm expect the shield to have no effect or your shield will blow up in your face. other types will react different.
But heck this is a game, i just hope the graphics of the effects won't blow up client.exe

And, another thing about an ion storm, if it was a Interdictor, it'd be great for dualing :D

yah i say it should be a dictor field too, damage is just kinda tricky and may take more work to make it fair

To fix the supie exploiting have it disable systems like repair and core weapons... thus making the ion storm a place to fear and avoid
example, you and 5 or 6 other ships fly into a normal nebula in chase of a wounded fleet. you find that the nebula slowly turns into an ion storm (giving you time to jump out if you are close to the borders)
Would make sence for space weather in nebulas.. i meen they are moving masses of gas, they would produce some ammount of ions/electrons in something like a thunderstorm, eventaly that has to go somewere.. so it arcs randomly for a while untill the energy is lost
?
