It's an interesting thing to think of, but I dont think it's a good idea. It will affect game play far too much.

Yeh, it would be gd.
Ionic storms I would think should shut down a craft systems while it passes, maybe even visible liek a gas cloud that pilots need to stay clear of

I'd like things like nebulae in addition to empty space and the asteroid fields which were all over the space maps of GC. Give me nebulae, give me various hazardous incarnations of solar wind, give me anything you can come up with that actually occurs and would make for a fun experience.

Sounds like a pretty good idea, but the films never gave a hint of ion storms [...]

Good Heavens, if this mod was to limit itself to the films it'd be one small project and no doubt released ages ago.

I read a comic, forgot the name, where the Falcon is chased by Boba Fett into a nebula of sorts and discovers a lost civilization on the other side. Or to put it another way, a giant steam-powered space ship discovers them .

Sounds like a pretty good idea, but the films never gave a hint of ion storms, and the coding of shunting fighters around randomly would be very difficult (as has been mentioned in the past when dicussing tractor beams)

In space there are usually solar winds, storms etc.
I thought it might be cool if you could engineer something similar for some of the space battle maps.
You could even make a story out of it.

Thought it might be fun getting shunted about during a dogfight, meaing the pilots need greater skills to fly through em.
Even giving a chance for you to escape enemies
