Volatile Ice Storm is a [[metaliminal storm]] that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Volatile Ice Storm

The view inside Wightstorm Forwards Base. The snowing effect is visible in all systems affected by the storm.

Volatile Ice Storm is a metaliminal storm that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Effect Weak Strong
Icon damage therm.png Overheat damage reduction 10% 25%
Icon resist therm.png Thermal resistance bonus 4% 10%

Ice Storm Filaments

Ice Storm Filaments transport capsuleers to a System affected by the Volatile Ice Storm.

There are separate Ice Storm Filaments for High, Low and Null security systems, capable of taking up to one, five, or ten ships.
