Not sure if this is a bug, or bad luck, but in the first 2 years as conventional start I've had every single of my 3 start NPRs visit me in Sol. And I have literally no ships or anything! It's strange, never seen this before. Anyone else had a similar issue?
Got the same thing. Started two games, in both the single NPR came knocking within 2 - 3 years.
Considering both games had 1000 systems, it seems a bit strange
I noticed this as well in my game. Two of my three starting Random Stars NPRs visited me in Sol within 4 years of game start, before I had even researched TN tech let alone explored another jump point.
I'm using default settings, so this is extremely unlikely:
Five minutes ago, I just discovered the
third starting NPR also in a jump point directly from Sol. I glanced read-only at the Races in the DB to be certain—in this 1000-system random stars game, all 3 of the starting NPRs appeared one jump from Sol (wasn't a newly genned "habitable planet" NPR). There's definitely something going on.
