It was trying out P&N that I found out what a valuable tactic this is in the standard game. And to think, I never even noticed storms before then unless my ships pathed around them.
A heavy carrier can hold it's minimum number of bays, some storage, and a spaceyard component. Send it to the storm while you're at peace, and then have it fill itself up.
Course, only the AI would fall for something like that.
