Another question & this was a little weird. I had 2 ships heading to a starbase 1 turn away, but both wound up somewhat off-course and in the same spot in deep space instead of the SB around the planet. HOWEVER, there is a class 4 (dangerous) (strengthening) ion storm they're smack dab in the middle of.

Can an ion storm push ships off-course? I can't think of any other explanation...thanks!

Oops, that's in the reports, sorry for the bother. I thought I had looked but I had the previous turn.

I recommend installing the Ion Prediction script; http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/130614

It will show a yellow-dotted line and yellow circles to estimate where the Ion Storm will push you once it is strong enough to do that.

Also to know what strength of an Ion Storm your ship and crew can withstand, get the Intelligence Center plugin; https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/8859-planets-nu-intelligence-center-plugin (Warning: It does hide how many protomolecules your ship has picked up, if you are fighting Horwasp, best to Turn it off for those Sectors).

The new Horwasp Race is in Alpha, and one of their Advantages is they lay Protofields (instead of Minefields). And non-Horwasp ships pick up Protomolecules travelling through them, which cause damage to the ship.

Until you play in a Sector with Horwasp, you need not worry about it.
