## Overmap Specifics

### Asteroid Storms

These storms will damage your shields, and when your shields are fully breached, will cause impacts that will explode random areas of your ship.

### Electrical Storms

These storms severely damage your shields, and when shields are fully breached, will cause tesla-like shocks to random parts of your ship.

### Ion Storms

These storms will slowly damage your shields, and when shields are fully breached, will randomly EMP equipment on your ship.

### Planetoids

These small planets can be landed on and usually will have some form of anomaly or ruin to explore. Landscape and vegetation depends on type.

|Color|Biome|
|-----|-----|
|Green|Temperate|
|Grey|Wasteland|
|Light Blue|Tundra|
|Orange|Volcanic|

### Energy Signature

These anomalous energy signatures sometimes lead to an abandoned structure of some type abandoned in space.

### Meteors

These large space rocks are generally rich in one kind of resource, and are the preferred mining choice among many asteroid miners. Beware: dangerous fauna have been reported inhabiting some meteors.

### Nebulae

These mostly harmless nebula clouds block sensors, but can be harvested for rare gases if you have specialized equipment. Beware of enemy ships hiding amongst them, though!

### Wormholes

These strange occurences are usually stable and can lead to a random part of your current solar system, but beware an unstable one, as it can cause severe damage directly to your ship's hull!

### Stars

These giant flaming balls of gas will melt your ship and crew if you let your shields fail when too close to it, so be wary!
