Random events

[Okim]

Hi.

I know that in DW we will have civil revolts/wars, exploration encounters, but will we have real random events?

By random events i mean something that happens independently from player, such as:

- new resource deposits discovered on one of the planets that were previously undetected by scout sensors.
- mineral deposits depletion.
- sudden atmospheric changes (penalising or increasing pop growth and happiness).
- money taken/given (thievery, donation etc).
- ship damage and other ship effects.
- popularity boost/penalty for a random time (superstar concerts or terrorism of some sort).
- tech breakthrough/halt.

Many 4-x games have such events and i can`t remeber any successful game without them.

I was first by 10 minutes. Heh. But I like your in depth approach.

I will merge my thread to yours and ask for mine to be deleted.

What sorts of normal events and mega events that randomly happen at colonies and space throughout the galaxy are there? These are seperate from the situational, exploration-related popups which require our immediate decisions.

Random normal events and mega events would be interseting if they are fun and not too negative or annoying.

Sorry, didn`t notice your post. Was too busy recalling events from similar games

Talking of random events...mere days before the release of this game I have somehow managed to get a nasty virus on my PC! Noooooo! Can anyone point me in the direction to get help to rid of what I think is the virtumonde.prx virus? I'm aware this is the wrong place to start talking about this - just need a bit of guidance. [&:]
