. The things that sometimes happen, its turn 77 in my current game and a random event has my planet that houses the Fate Shrine III (reduce bad events in system) suddenly have a core instability (planet go boom)... Of all things!!! ARRGHH!!!, time for bed.
I think the operative word here is "reduce" and not "eliminate" the chance. I see here we have another religious fan. I too like the religious trait. I have not directly tested the Fate Shrines but the others seem to work. For instance, I rarely ever build Urban Pac's because of the shrines.
Also, for you doubters of the religous tech, the Talisman is AWESOME - you NEVER miss with direct fire weapons, I mean NEVER. Even at max range. If you like beam (or other direct fire weapons), you gotta' try the Talisman!!
