Question, what do Solar Storm and Magnetic Cloud systems do? In what way can I use these strategically?
Also does the star system have a purpose? is the star system a portal to another start?
I'm loving the game but still lots to learn?
Zoom out and click the system, it'll give you a bit of info as to what it does, though I think the clouds effects are disabled at present.
Currently Magnetic Cloud and Plasma Storm do nothing - they are bugged.
From memory however, Magnetic Cloud should disable strike cloud launch, and Plasma Storm disables ship's abilities. Maybe it was the other way around, but zooming out and clicking the planets Icon will allow you to see an ability in the control panel that will detail what its meant to do.
In addition, Asteroid fields reduce accuracy, and suns increase Anti Matter Regen [Though if I am correct, I believe different coloured suns will be getting different additional buffs/debuffs later on]. When a ship dies within a gas giant gravity well, it damages all other ships around it.
Stars have two purposes:
1. The anti matter regen buff, and other debuffs in Rebellion that either are in, or will likely be in the game later.
2. After having Researched "Long Range Jumps" or W/E the tech is, you can use a star's gravity well to jump to another star.
Blue suns for instance, slow passive regeneration of hulls withing the gravity well, while red suns reduce weapon range and rate of fire. The yellow suns grant a bonus to shield regeneration rates. The green suns I don't remember. I posted a list of the exact effects of each suns' secondary ability but I couldn't find it...
