So pathfinding is completely broken

This is with 100% storm protection for ship defenses researched btw.

It just needs to go through the Scodd system.

If you have the save file perhaps post a bug report or post it here and tag eladrin. He was looking for save files to figure out what the problem is.

Some save games where this is especially egregious would be really helpful. I've seen some screenshots that are clearly not behaving as expected, so I know it's happening.

Locally, I'm seeing my fleets pathing through storms, though they do tend to minimize the number of jumps in storm systems if possible.

The behavior is tied to a define, FLEET_PATHFINDING_COSMIC_STORM_WEIGHT, that currently adds 100 days to the "cost" per system that has a storm in it, but that shouldn't cause it to take a circuit around the galaxy instead of go through three systems. In my picture, if I sent the ships to Vurul it'll path around the storm, but if Baeeruta is the destination they cut across it.

Yeah, it's annoying.
