Using the Heroes is indeed a choice, if you prefer to play "safely" and then use them, but you won't have the good events (or potentially good events, as some events can be either good or bad under different circumstances). On the other hand, you could take a chance in NOT using these Heroes, and then everything could happen from a "Oops, your main system has just been destroyed by a Nova along with your fleet" to a "The warp point the invading fleet was planning to use as just been closed by strange forces".
Please consider, that the Heroes Epic is for an individual System.


Change Bad Event Chance - System
Value1 = Percentage change in chance for bad event for entire system (+/- percentage).
Value2 =


Based on our scenarios, I could (or not) have the Hero that further lowered the chance in the Home System as to further avoid that Star Destroyed and on that remote and newly colonized system wanting to reach for another Star, I WOULD want a Hero to increase the chance of that system; preferably, the open warp event

As I am speaking of such events, you mentioned a Warp Opened event. Is this one working? I remember a post which stated that this one wasn't working with vanilla SE:IV at least. Events are quite hard to grasp in SE:IV and, well, random as they are supposed to be.
From the origonal AIC events file to AIC 3.2 released now, the open warp event does work fine, in a standard game

However, I also assume (only) it works with no-warp games, you may have a point

In addition, I am unsure if it will with this scenareo.
The System Gravitational Shield now prevents warp points closing within the system. This prevents warp points closing into or out of the system by all players.

In addition, I beleave MM se4 has fixed the Errors below from past history.
~The Rare error on warp command execution.
~You cannot open a warp point into the same system that it
originates from.

Excellent choice, it also mine; when I am in a competitive LAN game
