I did some more testing, ships take can take twice the damage from ALL storm attacks, no other units, not even other machines or transporters, can take extra damage.
Max damage for ships and other units from storms:
Lightning storm: Ships 14, other units 7, other units with lighting resistance 4
Fire storm: Ships 10, other units 5, other units with fire resistance 3
Holy storm: Ships 10, other units 5, other units with holy resistance 3
Death storm: Ships 8, other units 4, other units with death resistance 2
Ice storm: Ships 5 (ships have cold resistance), other units 5, other units with cold resistance 3
I also found that it is defense and not resistance that protect a unit form being hit by a storm attack, that will properly be a surprise to many people. Kris
