as far as I can tell, all ship effects (including energy vortexes) happen after all ion storm movement and growth.

Very well. Thanks for answering this, Stefan.

Though I am not surprised that this is the case, given that ion storms do their dragging and damage after their power changes and movement occurs.

Even if I was reasonably educated, the topic of ion storms was recently challenged, so I figured I would see what information I could gather to confirm or bust any claims.

So far, it is looking like all claims are busted. The ending voltage (at point of impact) seems to be the only relevant factor in determining the ability to trigger an energy vortex, never mind dragging and damage.
