They're too unreliable. Even when you set the rate to "high", events only happen once every one to three years with me..... don't count on those event bastard for interstellar travel.

Alternatively, I have read that there is speculation that SEV will allow for temporary WPs, so that you could open a WP and use it that turn, but it would be gone the next. If that is true, you can create a mod/start a game with WP openers that open ONLY temporary WPs, and no onboard repair bays for ships. This would make for a very interesting game.....

EDIT: They're not supposed to be reliable; they're anomolies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

As I said, they used to be more frequent. No, I don't do it that way normally, it's just kinda' fun to put a little twist with some self-imposed restrictions.

After you've played this series for over 8 years, it's nice to have a little variety.

You can increase their chance of occurence by adding 10 or 20 duplicate event entries in the Events.txt file.

Cool; thanks!

Ahh yes, this happened to me once...

My latest top of the line battleship was teleported half way across the galaxy to an enemies home system. I believe the diplomatic message that followed was...

"Oh, It just really isn't your day today is it now?"

Ooh..... painfull......................... were you annihilated or did you manage to get out on the skin of your teeth? Or did they annihilate everything but one Colony Ship on a remote deep-space colonization mission, which you used to rebuild your Empire, your might and your pride, and then you went on and vanquished them.
