Default Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent

JLS, not quite. The chances for events in Settings.txt are not chances for a system, they are instead simply the chance that an event will occur on any given turn. A random event is not called for in any particular system; it is generated separately, and then a target is chosen after the event is generated. Once the event occurs, then a random system, planet, ship, etc. is selected as its target. Without any modifiers, all systems have exactly identical chances of being hit. Those numbers are indeed fixed for the entire game (unless you change the file mid-game, of course). No facilities can have any possible affect on them. All that the facilities do is fiddle with which system gets hit, not with the chances that an event will occur.
