I know ion storms are supposed to disrupt sensors along with ship functions but the last two times I have encountered one my entire game ui has basically disappeared, I was wondering if that is an intended feature or a bug. I have attached a screenshot of what I mean. The commands appear as I highlight/select them or they become active (when I pause time the white mission timer flashes) or when I use < > to scroll though options at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise the screen flickers with whatever part of it has motion.

I have to navigate through memory of the commands, the other time it happened I went into orbital control and then back out which seemed to reset the screen back to normal. In the example picture I posted I successfully captured the starliner but the menu still has not come back yet.

Edit: Saving, quitting and reloading the game doesn't fix it, my screen still looks the same as the attached picture.

My save file might have gotten corrupted some how, I went to the internal defense screen and it did not work, I also verified the game through gog and I even reinstalled the game but when loading the save file the screen was still blue.

I traveled to another system, went into orbit of a planet and tried the security control trick and this time it worked and my main bridge display is back to normal.

Do you know of a way to prevent something like this from happening in the future?
