I have just found out something useful, actually a few things but one of them has to do with storms/asteroids.

The storm/asteroid field itself blocks detecting ships in that sector, but if you already have a ship there you can use the sector view to see what's there. Useful for organising defences in a sector and now it also lets you search the sector. I discovered an enemy surveillance satellite in an asteroid field . Pity you can't move your ship since there's an enemy there, and I suppose you still can't attack them.
