Charon, what Velk said about Vastness summoning is what IW has commented upon in response to questions I raised regarding why I stopped getting them after about turn 20ish and skill level in the teens. 50+ turns later and 20 more skill levels and I still hadn't seen another one. What IW said is that at higher skill levels (and they consider teens "high", and 30+ to be "absurd") the code will generate multiple GOs (almost always 2) and the chances for a Vastness drop to zero. I, too, would happily trade a dozen or more GOs for a Vastness. While it doesn't make sense that the more skilled you are the worse your chances, their justification is game balance and I can hardly fault them for that, no matter how much it irks me.
