Ah, I would have thought that the random setting were via a seed, so as to prevent that. Good to know, although I'm way past being able to use the autosave this time around. In the meantime, I guess engine-less ship designs are the way to go lol.
No response? Well, for now, I'm working under the assumption it won't end. None of the forum threads I found had a definitive answer, only that people didn't like the event, or that they found a bug in it. *shrug* On the bright side, you can put a LOT more weapons and defenses on a vessel with no engines!

Does this event EVER end? I just realized that here I am, I've already research technological victory (the victory may be disabled, but the bonuses apparently are not!), I've almost finished researching the entire tech tree (plus I traded for some I can't normally get), I own over half of an Immense galaxy... and I'm still stuck at 5 moves tops. I literally, at this point, have no need to even use engines anymore. I have enough bonuses to use ships with no engines, and move
I must have done something wierd before, because upon hitting the reset button, I had 150 points. I went with the Arceans, actually. The slow movement speed made sense for the story of my custom faction, they have no noticeable penalties to stuff like tech, economy, influence, diplomacy, etc., and they even get some nice bonuses to defensive warfare. I didn't even know until later that they get cheaper constructors, which is awesome for someone who spams starbases. X
I'm trying to make a custom race, and I'm looking at which tech tree to choose. I can't seem to find anything that actually shows it all. Even Galactopedia won't open the Twilight of Arnor category, so I can't seem to find anything. So far I've just been going by guess and check, which doesn't always work. Case in point, the Yor have great productivity, true, but they have a cripplingly weak economy, and, as I learned too late, they can only get the very first upgrade
