hidden BSYs

That's not a problem, only entering a storm triggers the damage. Ships built there, parked there, there before the storm is generated aren't damaged.

The goal is to set up a hidden base, after all. You want to be able to move ships into it. It saves some trouble if they don't have to be repaired upon arrival.

Hidden BSY are very important to Pirates in singleplayer games.
Having an undetected staging ground to launch raids from and tow your spoils back to is very convenient!

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.
