Storms can be found on your in-game map, as shown in the image to the right. There are always eight storms moving around in New Eden.
 


To update the location of a storm once it has moved, find it in the table based on it's previous storm center, click the "New Report" button and enter the new storm system center. If two or more storm centers previously occupied the same system, then that will require eyes in system to update the correct storm type as to where it has moved to.

NOTE:  THIS PAGE IS A CURRENT WIP

Nullsec is currently experiencing wandering storms that slowly travel between systems called Metaliminal Storms. These storms produce a variety of environmental effects that impact all ships brave enough to enter them. Help us report the stormy weather for the benefit of all capsuleers!

What exactly are Metaliminal Storms?

How do I view the New Eden Weather Report?

While not officially overseen by EvE-Scout Rescue (ESR), the Signal Cartel Storm Tracking Service conveniently resides on the the ESR website for the use and public benefit of all of New Eden. The "New Eden Weather Report" is visible at the bottom of the ESR homepage in the form of a crawler. It displays the Metaliminal Storms across K-space, as reported by our storm spotting Signaleers. Clicking on the crawler brings up the Signal Cartel Storm Tracker Public Website.

How do I find the Storms in-game?

  • Metaliminal Storms are found on your in-game map (F10), however you first must select them:

  • There are always eight storms moving around in New Eden (two of each type).

  • If you zoom in on one of the storms, you will see systems highlighted in different colors.
    • The large red system is the epicenter or storm center
    • Systems one jump away from the storm center are orange.
    • Systems two and three jumps away are yellow.


Note: The red and orange systems together form the storm's core and receive the strongest effects, while the yellow systems form the storm's periphery and receive the weakest effects.

How do I report the Weather?

In-game map showing storms

Allison provides the Storm Tracker interface that enables our Storm Tracking Service to publicly report the weather. You can report the weather by clicking here and then using the "STORM TRACKER" tab.


To update the location of a storm once it has moved, find it in the table based on it's previous storm center, click the "New Report" button and enter the new storm system center. If two or more storm centers previously occupied the same system, then that will require eyes in system to update the correct storm type as to where it has moved to. Likewise, if it is unclear for any reason (like the storm is not in an adjacent system to the previous known center or you're not confident, then it's best to put eyes in the system before updating.

If you click on the storm name, then it will list the history for that storm at the bottom, as you can see from the screen shot for storm Electric B.
