Using my events file?
 

To anyone using my events file, which events have you seen? Do you like them/hate them? Or any other feed back you can give me.
As I like to work this file and am working on adding a few more.

Hey, what about roving bands of pirates and/or nomads stealing resources and scaring people and stuff?

How about a corruption scandal event?
Spontaneous combustion of citizens?
Ummm...Ghost ships attacking and damaging a ship? Some sort of space monster event.
Industrial accidents destroying the value of a planet?
Accidental misfiring of planetary defenses (destroy a building or kill people)?
Accidental misfiring of planetary defenses deflects/destroys an undetected incoming asteroid making people very happy.
A swarm of space creatures crashes into your planet by accident, and boosts the organic value?
A very popular holoprogram about one of your ships causes them to become legendary in your empire?
A foreign dignitary is blackmailed by one of your citizens and you collect 20% in taxes?
A convention of evil geniuses results in (something really bad happening)

Thanks for the ideas....Some of these are very doable. I will write them up and see how they look.

I really like them... I had something that was normally an Intel project affect me, and it made me pause because it was fairly early in the game. I was thinking I was in for some BIG problems because the AI had gotten Intel very early...

Great,
I will post an updated file as soon as I see what changes were made in the next patch.

Side note:
I suggested a couple of command line adds to the events file to allow for multi things to occur for a since event. IE fac get distroyed and pop happyness goes down.

I've been using your events file Dracus and I find it adds more variety and a better feel to the game. I haven't seen very many of the events in game though, but then again I have my event chance set to low usually.
