Re: In need for a few beta testers!
Another thought on event chances: as noted, the game uses ALL planets, warp points, stars, etc. as possible event locations. However, it's possible that the game doesn't allow multiple events per turn. Therefore, as soon as an event and a location have been chosen, no further checking for events occurs. Then, unless an event location coincides with a player's system, no event is logged; and, more importantly, the effects may not be applied either. So, for testing purposes, it may be better to use a VERY small galaxy (like, say 10-20 systems); use 10-planet startup, 2 (human) players, form a partnership, and colonize each system. Then just wait for events to happen...
EDIT: by "player's system" I mean any system where the player has an actual presence; the "ancient race" trait wouldn't help.
