Default Re: Storms as a defense?

Only the damaging storms stack. The damage is applied as all or nothing, so sometimes you can move a fleet through without taking any damage. The odds of harm for 1000 damaging storms is no higher than the odds for one damaging storm.

I have no proof, but I suspect that if you include at least one ship with a storm destroying component, you have a better chance of entering the storm safely.

Fear the squirrel.
