This window displays a forecast about the future movement of an ion storm. You can move around the scanner beam using the usual keys; + and - will change the zoom factor, Tab recenters the map.
ESC closes the window.
The forecast considers the following properties of ion storms, consistent with Host 3.22.003 and PHost 4:
- Storms don't change their direction by more than 10° per turn;
- Storms smaller than 200 ly move at Warp 6, larger ones move at Warp 2 to 4;
- Storms with more than 250 MeV move at warp 8, regardless of what the above rule says.
The forecast does not consider growth of the storm, pancaking, and ion storm joining.
